When I saw that the weather for the weekend looked lousy I figured I'd get a paddle in tonight...but maybe after dark for a change. Around 9:30pm I drove down to the beach and conditions were perfect - warm evening, warm water, zero wind and a clear sky (moon still hadn't come up). It was pretty dark and quiet. The water mirrors the sky and when you look down, it looks like you're paddling in space. I could hear some wild life but the most dramatic was the beavers that seemed determined to scare me off with tail-slap warnings (sounds like a cannon ball being dropped in the water). Sometimes being alone on the water is fine for the introverted types like myself but I kind of wished I had someone to share the experience with.
