The strong winds we had Friday night were to die down on Saturday afternoon. So Tony e-mailed looking to see if anyone was interested in a Saturday afternoon paddle, but it did not look good for me to partake.
About 10:30 am on Saturday Tony called my house... "can I interest you?" he asked with the sound of hope (or was it a little desperation) I heard in his voice? I checked things out on the home front and I was cleared for take off.
We met at St Philips at 11:30 and Terry showed up a few minutes later.
A few pics to share:

We didn't hang around at Topsail Beach too long in the chilly air before heading back.
Terry was out on the annual New Years Day club get-together at Quidi Vidi, but this was the first paddle of 2015 under the bows for myself and Tony. I expect we'll get in a few more paddles before the 'official' kayaking season begins.
Nice shots Dean of a most enjoyable paddle!

On such a day it's hard not to get a few decent pics...
