Out for a nice paddle today with a couple from South Korea. Paula and I met them on the bus a couple of weeks back, and we got a call from them Friday night and I took them out for their first ever paddle Saturday morning. Paula and Richard were heading out to play around Cadboro Point, and the three of us followed behind them. We paddled up the north shore of Cadboro, taking the time to check out the birds, clams, sea stars, and various seaweeds. It really was a float of a morning, but it was interesting to visit with some serious newbies–neither had paddled anything before. the weather was perfect; a bit cool, but the water was glass-flat in the bay. A slight breeze came up, and we soon after came off the water, ceding the bay to the sailing club regatta.
