The kayak is just out of range on the left. I took it out and waited patiently watching the surf for a break. I waited until 3 good waves came in and the area was high with water. I didn't see any more swells rolling in so I jumped in and paddled like crazy to get out past the surfline. Just at the point I couldn't turn around a swell humped up in front of me. A surfer would have taken a wave like that...going with it, and not against it, like I was. I paddled all the more furiously to get over the top BEFORE it broke on me. I didn't, it did. The boat took about 3 inches of water and was like paddling a log. It was a kodak moment, but I didn't want to release the paddle. I paddled out a little more and turned around. Coming back in was easy and generally that's the hard part. I've been out fishing a couple times last week in the same place, but in the two-person kayak. This is the wettest I've been in awhile. Oh well, it was a nice day even though wet clothes don't dry very fast in 90% humidity. Come on, let's go.
