I live over here on the wet side of the state, so my water is always liquid! :-) I really wouldn't mind reading a few "skiing in the Cascades" stories, so go ahead! Or, you could just take your most appropriate boat and do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3flztm1fF6s Back to liquid water paddling... I paddle several times a week (all seven days if I can get away with it), but I don't write about it very often, though sometimes I do, and I'm sure you've seen some of it here over the years. I did have a nice paddle a couple days after that storm a couple weeks ago that knocked out our electricity for a week, and while the winds had calmed down almost completely, the surf and swell was still pretty impressive. Once I got through the messy surf zone that went on forever, the big swell was wonderful. While in the troughs, I could only see water all around me, no sky. While on the crests, I could see all the way into the Olympic mountains. The water was cold and refreshing, but not frozen! :-) -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
