The trip on Saturday was just 3 of us because, everyone else canceled because of the 15 MPH winds. It just made for a little more chop and exercise. It was a fun day of paddling.

Then on sunday we had a nice breeze and several paddlers on our trip. It was a fun day on the water.
Sunday's story in photos.
Running paddles can be a challenge, especially this time of the year when the days are warming up and the water temps are on the rise. The waters had bee moving to the high 50s but dropped toward the weekend and ended up at around 51 degrees fahrenheit on Saturday and Sunday.
We required people going with our group to be in at least a 3 mil wetsuit but drysuit prefered.
Saturday was no recreational kayaks, kayaks under 14 feet, because of the wind and chop. The last thing we want is a hypothermic paddler spoiling the trip for everyone. Safety first.
We were surprised when we saw that the Key Bridge Boathouse was renting kayaks and SUPs on Saturday and Sunday. People were paddling in tshirts and shorts. I wonder what their liability is if someone goes for a swim and hypothermic shock sets in. Well, it is not my problem.
So we had a great weekend.
