#100! This was the year that I pretty much ruled out making the Century Club again. The recovery from more heart work in March was slower than expected. But then, I started to improve and I just kept logging my days. I sailed my boat, sailed on a friend'd boat a lot, raced on Barba Roja, and went kayaking. I remembered how winter came in hard and early last November. If I was gonna make C-Club, I wanted to have it wrapped up by the end of October. And, for the fifth straight year, I made it!
On Oct 23rd, at dusk, Dave and I paddled out of Holiday Hills Marina, out into Whitemarsh Creek and the Rhode River. It was perfect. Up in the headwaters of the creek the wildlife was alive and vibrant. The sounds of the birds, an owl, and dogs off in the distance was something to soak up. When we ran out of water depth, we turned, retraced our course and paddled together out the other side of Rhode River. We returned to the ramp in the dark. Perfect!
