Got my Japanese kayaks from Japan finally and went for a paddle with Dave. We launched from Harper and did a lap around Manchester on a super calm, warm December Sunday. Had the drone in the air and saw a bald eagle, harbor porpoises and seals.

Launched from Brownsville Marina and paddled across the Sound to Bainbridge Island into Fletcher Bay. Man, those are some freaking nice houses on the island...
There was a small cross-breeze crossing the sound making for some chop, but can't complain for December. Saw quite few sea lions swimming and a couple seals on the trip.

Lauched from Pomeroy Park in Manchester and paddled towards Bainbridge Island. It was an awesome trip as I saw a pod of transient Orca Whales go by. I didn't get too close to them, but it was awesome to see.
Also was being stalked by a sea lion (scared the crap out of me when he popped out of the water behind me and starting barking), and of course saw several seals. Paddled around Blakely Rock off of Bainbridge island before returning. There was a bald eagle hanging out on the island along with a seal pup.
