Dec 16 - check 'n paddle

Trip dates: 
Tuesday, December 16, 2025
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Kayak/canoe/rowboat

Got a note that the boat had a suspicious list to port!

That was concerning because my boat lists a few degrees to starboard. I pictured a few hundred pounds of new, very cold water ponding up below on the port side for some serious, ungodly reason. 

So a big sigh of relief when I finally got to the club approx. 0915 hrs.  Air temp 26 F.  A bit of an issue getting the companionway open, due to it being iced in place.  But all in all, it was a successful trip - got my solar panel clear of snow and ice and producing electricity.  Got in a quick paddle to check ice levels in the creek. Solid up to an inch in isolated protected spots, mostly just slushy brash elsewhere. 

Fun paddle!
