Summer SUP and beyond

Eric put a lot of miles on the Stand Up Board (SUP) this past summer. Some of his most impressive paddles included from Boston Harbor out to and around Squaxin Island and from Nisqually Reach out and around Anderson Island. Pretty impressive! When I'm not training on the bike, I sometimes am able to join him for shorter paddles. So recently on a night paddle near Olympia's Priest Point Park, Eric and I heard the blows of whale pretty close to us. We paddled quickly away from the blows to find out the next day it was likely a transient Orca whale! It's amazing the things you witness out on the water.

Mom and Doug came out to watch one of Eric's local races on a rainy summer day. We then had a nice dinner at the Oyster House.
