I have to agree the fog was some of the thickest that I ever paddled in. Paddling up to Brave Boat you could hear the surf pounding from far away. As we approached you could feel the gentle swells building. when we made it to Brave Boat there were set after set of slow breaking waves. I paddled out and caught a couple rides, but noticing when I got out beyond the breakers I could barely see my friends who were concerned for my safety, (THANKS) so i paddled over to join them. We paddled around the corner to stop for lunch. This area should be called Bug Island, as there were bugs every where.Its November and there shouldn't be any bugs. We ate lunch watching two board surfers catching ride after ride. I wanted to be out there with them and my friends knew that, so after lunch we made our way back out to the surf for more surfing fun. That 17 ft kayak just doesn't spin like my 8 ft surf boats. After a few long rides we we were making our way back when we met Jon D . The thought in my mind of heading back to the surf with Jon, but I thought we started as a group we should end as a group. We made our way back to the culvert against the current. When we made it to the culvert the water was ripping through to the other side, the water seemed to be a foot higher on our side. I'm thinking this looks like fun so I shot through and others to follow, only to turn around and and try to paddle back through the culvert against the current with no success. It was a fun day paddling with friends. We try to paddle every weekend, feel free to join us. It's all about making new paddling friends and building our skills. Bill H Brave Boat Harbor, I'll be back to surf again. Its a slow left break.

Just a quick note, I didn't get a chance to try the chowder at the work shop, but I did take some home and took it to work the next day. That chowder was GREAT. Bill H

I also want to thank everyone for making this workshop possible. I find it amazing that after years of paddling how much more I've learned from the group at NSPN. Thanks again Bill Harter

Sounds good to me too. Bill H

Heading out, Thanks for the info. Bill H

I'm heading to the cape for a week of surf kayaking and touring, any ideas on some good paddles Bill H

I took a drive down there yesterday, there are 4 parking lots in that area. I think the one we will be using will be #4 marked Theater, its the largest lot, close to the water and has public rest rooms. Bill H

I'll be there too, after I do some surfing at Jenniss 8am Bill H

Thanks to all who paddled Sunday, the weather was great and meeting new paddling friends is what it is all about. I sent out some pictures out on to Shutterfly to some of the people I paddled with with a note to foward them to the others. Bill Harter
