My sweetheart, David, took this picture. We spent the weekend at Silver Lake up near Mt. Baker. I'd been kayaking a few times before in a double kayak. I didn't do much, since it scared me to go out in the surf, even though it was the shipping lanes between Edmonds and Kingston. Just a lot of current and unexpected wave action from container ships passing. So here I am decked out in the right clothing--no cotton because that can get wet and chilly. And David has lead kayaking tours, so he knew what I should do to stay warm and to stay safe.
