| - | Only 5 of us showed for Saturdays paddle. Conditions were bumpy but not big. Erik W, had to borrow my R since his rudder broke on his V-10. As we headed south (upwind), I assumed that we would need to go slow for Erik. However, he was right in the front setting the pace. Reivers and I got a chance to toy with our new VHF radios when we got down to Governor's point (worked really well) so we went on to Whiskey Rock. There was a couple of Eagles sitting on the rock and one was singing (well, sounded like crying) and I was whistling back at him. We actually seemed like we were communicating until I fell off my boat. I didn't have a paddle in the water and it was rather bumpy, then you combine this with a lack of attention and you go swimming. The VHF took the dunking in stride and no water leaked into the battery compartment(I fell in just to test the radio). | ||

| - | Anyway, we went back north and started catching some good rides until there was a definite change in the current. The wave frequency increased and the smaller waves were hard to catch. I looked back when we were going past the wall and I saw that Erik was slightly behind everyone. When we got past Post Point, I turned and looked back and could not see any sign of Erik. I turned and headed south (I don't really like him, it was because he was on my boat) and could not see any sign of him. I then called Reivers on the radio and asked if he had seen Erik. He said Erik was already back to FBW. How did this paddling wannabe in a short fat boat beat all these elite shells back to Fairhaven? Good thing Dean wasn't here or he would have slit his wrists. Reivers and I started making excuses for this phenomonen. We were in the current and he wasn't, he hugged the shore and caught eddys, we had a headwind and he didn't, our water was like molasses and his was like Vodka. Whatever? | ||
