Windy and rainy. Sustained winds in the 15-20kt range and some gusts over 30kt. Waves at times in the 3' range and a few around 4'
Three intrepid paddles took advantage of the gale warnings to do a downwind paddle from Nisqually to Titlow. It was a fairly quick trip starting just before 10am and ending just before 1pm. Fun paddle just over 12nm in SKIV-V conditions. Some good surf runs were had!
