  • Still calm.

Barely any wind so Alan and I paddled out on the creek over to party cove to check out the rebuilding of a neighbor's dock that got decimated in a storm last year. We decided to go across the creek when the wind picked up to the point it was very difficult to paddle. We turned around to head home, of course directly into the wind. It was a struggle but we made it. Of course when we got close to our dock it was once again calm with nary a breeze. I think it's a function of being more sheltered at home than the wind conspiring against us.
