9.65 nm circumnavigation of Squaxin Island from Arcadia Point. Had about 12 knots of wind on the south side of the island blowing out of the south southwest. Some light rain off and on, and a little steady rain for a while. We had five paddlers.

Clockwise circumnavigation from Cathlamet, WA. High water level on the Columbia River did not cause a problem for upstream travel. High water level did make it difficult to find places for shore breaks, especially along the Washington shore on the northeast side of Puget Island.

A balmy mid-December night walk, with temps in the low 50s, and overcast skies. This night walk along the one-way version of SeaOlm Section 2 began at the west entrance of Woodland Park Zoo, crossed Woodland Park and Green Lake, then Cowen Park and Ravenna Park, onto the festive Candy Cane Lane, and then the final stretch along the wide boulevards of Fraternity Row and Memorial Drive, to end at the bus stop across the UW Medical Center.

I took my dog on a 4-mile ramble from our home, clockwise, through Hamlin and South Woods parks to check how the woods are doing following recent floods and winds. Excellent drainage.

My husband and I grabbed a few quick hours of birding - 41 species - that included 19 trumpeter swans, 50 wood ducks, 54 double-crested cormorants, and 3 woodpecker species. Beautiful clearing in flooding time, a welcome reprieve.

A wonderful trip with varied conditions and lots of wildlife. Swans, otters, seal, ducks, geese, herons, egrets and eagles were viewed. We had flat calm, mirror-like conditions, 10kt winds with 1' waves, sun breaks, rainbows, heavy rain and large ship wakes at times during the day.
