I am scared! I am planning to leave tomorrow afternoon on a two week kayak trip to the Brothers Islands (West of Admirality for those with access to maps) What has me scared is the weather forecast. Sunny clear and hot through next saturday. Trust me that is too good to be true! My trips usually involve rain / lots of rain and wind / lots of cold rain and wind. So either the weather man has misread the barometer and it will begin raining the moment I put in or the weather will wait till I get out to the Brothers then hit me with everything it has got! Sorry when it come to weather around here I am rarely an optimist. See you in two weeks!

Trust me that is too good to be true! Rev... global warming had to catch up with just by the law of averages. I hope it turns out nice the entire trip. It's certainly time for you to get a break. We just got back from two days on the muthah-ship trying to iron out some problems with the boat and find out what it's like for two ... um, plus-sized people... to sleep in a 1974 vee berth. It would have been find had the dogs not decided, in the middle of the night, to join us. We didn't take kayaks as we had to get a dinghy over there to prepare for taking an 8-year-old out on her first boat trip to the islands. We saw dozens, however. By the way... it's pretty warm all over this area including the San Juans where it was in the 70s and humid. Have fun and stay safe. Looking forward to the story. :) Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
