it was mayhem. first of all it was cold air, cold water, wind from elsewhere, waves from even more elsewhere. Alan brought out the green dragon (OC-4) to provide rabbit duty. So the more foolish/muleish of us chased that boat up and down. People launched to the beat of their own tuba. So different clutches of boats were going North or South at different times. I'm sure the migrating geese were just disgusted with this typical behavior of the species. We should have known the omens were bad. One of us did the old embarrassing launch dunk in front of everyone else. So naturally the rest of us (mostly me) gave words of encouragement like, “did you tip over getting out of your car this morning?” or, “thanks for being our sacrifice to Neptune”.
Unfortunately I was probably lowest ranked on the IQ totem pole today. I paddled my skinny boat and spent lots of time with feet out contemplating the wonder of phat boats. Don't believe me? I noticed a tug coming into the bay and thought it would be just great to ride wake. Of course the wake was at 90 degrees to the other two wave patterns. It was all even more of a mulligan stew that was beyond me. Luckily my buddy LG hung out with me so we could both be stoopid together. Or maybe he just wants my kayak gear if I drown.

I was hoping to be be able to boast about our superb timing but instead can only boast about Avenue's tuna melt afterward. Corson and I saw white caps outside the glass between MP and the red can and thought perfect, we will sneak up to Governors or Whiskey right when the wall of the gale hits…well despite glass, waves were 1-ft to the beach, and windy almost whitecapping along the wall. Just past Governors whitecapping and when a solid wall of wind hit us, Corson turned back. I went for 5 more min toward the Samish Flats cuz I thought I saw Beau and a surfskier, turned out to be some other SUPdude, so I turned - fun and fast for 10-15 min then mid-wall no wind - okay remnant waves to the Tunnel, where things got wacky. All of a sudden we had a headwind again, water swirling every direction, but rideable waves toward MP right into what seemed like Mexico's finest washboard - super chop right at us…fun in the sun - cant believe it is mid Nov.
