Felt like it's been a long time since I've been out for a good kayaking trip... felt great and definately what I needed this weekend. Met up with Jon and Jeramy where we launched from Port Gamble and paddled north to Foul Weather Bluff and back.
Couldn't ask for a nicer day nearing mid-October. Saw lots of fish, seals, sea lions and porpoises...and potentially some kind of whale in the distance.

Last summer-like weekend. Met up with Jon and Jeramy as we launched from Gig Harbor and paddled to the Narrows Bridge and back. Shot down riding the tide and had to catch eddy's on the shore to make it back. I paddled up to a group of sea lions behind the Narrows Bridge pillar...they did not want me there!

What a difference a week makes. Last week I was out in shorts and a long sleave warmer...this week it was a bini, paddling jacket with layers, paddling pants, and winter boots!
Launched from Gig Harbor again, but this time a solo trip. It's nice going out solo sometimes as its so peaceful and allows you to clear you head. This time I paddled Northeast and explored some of the shores of Vashon Island. I was also hoping to see the humpack whale in the area, but sounds like I just missed him.
Plenty of wildlife though as I was circled by a pod of porpoises a couple of times, saw a group of sea otters, and the usual seals and sea lions.
Total Distance: 11.34 miles
