JohnHuth Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Just an afternoon paddle around Thatcher from Brace cove. I've been trying to get 'conditions' for 4* assessment or even practice for weeks, but I'm lately thinking of hiring myself out to get low-wind conditions for anyone who wants them. Skunked in Bar Harbor with no wind. The forecast 20 knots for today were nothing but a little puff. BUT....paddling back to the cove - wow. A full moon rising off of the ocean, and the setting sun at the same time. I realized it was the equinox, only one of two times in the year when you can see this happen. It was magic. There was a hot desert-like wind blowing off of the land, but every so often, you could feel this cold, damp wind off the ocean. Every so often, I could feel the gentle nudge of current - barely able to perceive it. The battle of sun/moon land/sea summer/winter. So, no big conditions, but a magic moment that Castenada called 'the door between worlds'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcasey Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Be careful, John. I believe that quoting Carlos Casteneda is probable cause these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
