Dec 12 - Springs mean Low

Trip dates: 
Tuesday, December 12, 2023
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Kayak/canoe/rowboat
  • Closed until further notice
  • Heron tracks
  • I mean, really low
  • Fun chore in a kayak...me and the trusty tape measure

I put a kayak in to get soundings in a PSA slip.  Perfect timing, as today is a New Moon and it's "springs." So the tide was unusually low, I'd say at least 9-12 inches below MLW.   So the soundings in the slip were very low, but a great indication of what the worse case scenario might be for a boat of a certain draft.  I'd be lying if I said I had no personal reason to perform this task for the club.

Then I grabbed lunch and paddled out to one of my usual lunck spots. Closed due to lack of water.  But there's one just as nice around the corner.  For day 101 in 2023.
