Puttering up Portage Inlet

Took today's Tuesday paddler up into Portage Inlet and Colquitz creek. Weaher was a bit drizzly, tides were nil. Nice way to spend a late morning. 'Tassie' seems happier with the work I've done on her... but it could just be me.

Jordan River to Sheringham Point

Decided to go out and see what a 16 foot wave on a 16 second period looks like when it lands. Paddled out from Jordan River through some pretty hairy surf, but not as big as what is landing up at Tofino as the biggest waves were in the 7-8 foot range and most of waves were smaller at 4 feet. Paddled off-shore, and south to Sheringham Point  and back.

After loading up I decided to take a run up to Port Renfrew with stops at Sombrio, and a few other spots along the way to check things out.

Time on water - 6 hours

Pool Session

Decided to bring 'Humble Pie' (the Kirton K1) to the pool this time. She threw me in the water a few times, but I got to the point where I could scull her across the pool and back with my Greenland paddle. Must... have... bulkheads...
