Made another trip around Squaxin Island, with far more pleasant conditions yesterday than the last time I was out. We were able to see more of the growing bull kelp forest, which is a beautiful sight, in part because for reasons unknown to me, it just never really developed last year. Many kelp crabs were clinging to the kelp. Also saw more harbor porpoises between Tucksel Point and Briscoe Point. Just a great paddle in some beautiful, clear blue-green waters.

| Are carbon paddles supposed to flex this much? |
