Route 50 Bridge Paddle

Seeking a more downtown beach experience, I headed to 28th street for my daily lunchtime paddle. I launched off a small seawall, and headed south towards the inlet. I enjoyed seeing the differences in buildings and scenery downtown, though I had to dodge a few fishermen casting off the ends of streets. My original plan was to paddle all the way to the inlet, and possibly to the ocean, but the current was absolutely ripping on my way down and I wanted to make sure I'd be able to make it back. As predicted, the ride back was a slow slog, but a great workout. Spent the afternoon on the beach afterwards, where it was almost warm enough for a great beach day.
