Agreed however this time of year in Alaska the wind and a chilling combination of rain & snow will test one's desire to paddle. Rev, You!!!?!!! Rob G it is like this: I can handle rain I like paddling in snow I can deal with wind but when you get all three at once ...well This time of year I tend to do short trips up creeks where the birds hide out from the hard winds. Lately a lot of these creeks have been frozen up. Also we have been having ice storms making it hard to get to some of the local put-ins. Getting ready to go to Florida for a conference and a couple days paddling on the Suwannee River. Not quite Fredrick Sound, Ice Bergs and whales but it's paddling.
