Session Reports - How was your standup session?

[ricki]

Laura and I went out for an interesting roundwinder the other day. She was on the ULI inflatable board and I was in her kayak. We launched off the beach about a 1/2 mile south of Spanish River Blvd. in Boca Raton. Conditions were calm but being early summer, it might not stay that way. We paddled about three miles north to the Holiday Inn on the beach in Highland Beach. Grabbed lunch, looking at a nasty looking squall moving in from the west. Finished up, hit the water again, now chopped up to around 1 to 2 ft. and building with the squall related wind. The paddling became pretty slow, missed most of the rain hitting to the north and south as the breeze continued to increase. We swapped craft to even up the load of paddling into all this stuff. Lets say going down went a lot faster and easier the coming back. Still, it was an interesting session. Standup to lunch, nice concept particularly as the wind eases along with the storm prospects in a couple of weeks, maybe.
