Cloudy with 10-15 k winds. Threat of rain, but no actual rain until we were packed up.
Some waves.
Great company and great fun learning to deal with waves. Free parking at Snee-Oosh (no restrooms). Beautiful rest areas on Hope and Skaggit Islands. Spent some time working on ferrying angles while crossing from island to island. Teresa and John did a great job, keeping us safe and shepherding when we got too spread out.
Helpful gear would have been a neoprene hoodie. Never actually capsized, but the threat was real. And regardless would have kept my noggin warm.
Don't have a whole lot of pictures (did I mention it was windy?) So if you're reading this and were on the trip, I would love to see some.
