Day One: The first day is in the bag. We paddled from Elliot Bay Marina to Meadowdale. And what a first day it was. From downpours, to headwinds, to chilly conditions, to currents and swells... But we made it - paddling over 16 miles. You know it wasn't so bad. Although I think we might be a touch sore in the morning. (Sonja)
I've never seen so much wildlife in a single day... And this is only urban Puget Sound. A dozen harbor seals, at least 8 bald eagles, 4 osprey and the grand prize, Hershel: the California sea lion, who is famous for feasting on Lake Washington salmon, was snoring away the morning on a huge buoy near the Ballard Lockes.
