We wanted to do a DW on the West side of Port Susan, but the wind was too strong and had too much East in it and there was too much large woody debris in the water. We went to Kayak Point where the waves were much smaller but there wasn't any debris in the water.

A surfski expedition with the gang from Aterra Surfski Experience and Zachery Preyser, to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope.

An absolutely wonderful day with the greatest experiences. Paddling out to the famous Cape Point, Albatros Rocks, the Cape of Good Hope, where the Atlantic Ocean and False Bay meet, is an experience from the absolute top shelf.

It is big, grandiose, fierce and beautiful all at the same time.

I will be back.

Good energy in the waves today. The wind had already blown for four hours before we started. Steamboat Flats marker said 16-17 mph average wind speed. At 1:24 you can see where I hit some woody debris, and it took a 1/2" diameter paint chip off the side but no damage to the bow.

Super Bowl paddle. Started at 4 and finished at 5:30 sunset. Some wind coming down Admiralty Inlet to Edmonds. The wave reading today was hurting my brain.

Another cold light North wind play day! Another day that I had to dump the ice or slush out of my cockpit before I started.

I have mentioned that I have paddled Superior every calendar month for 5+ years. Well the trickiest month has been February because this is the month that Superior is most likely to freeze over, particularly at the head of the Lake near the Twin Ports. If the wind blows consistently the Lake will not freeze no matter how cold it gets, but one still night and it can freeze fast.

Today was forecast to be about the “warmest” day in the next 10 days so I thought I better get my February paddle in now, just in case. The high was 18 F (-8 C) which is a few degrees cooler than I would prefer even with sun so there was a lot of ice accumulation. My
rudder lines froze on the way to the launch site so had to stuff the ski in the car to thaw them out. There was a nice SW wind so I just did short 1K out and backs from Stoney.


Pretty sure Eddie Vedder must have recorded Yellow Ledbetter right after finishing a February paddle on Superior.
