Even though he's had an unusual, two-week long 'functional' chest cold, Eric decided he still wanted to try the annual DeceptionPassDash. So we all loaded up and drove north to Fidalgo Island and met up with over 170 other paddlers for the six mile paddle through a pass that has some of the swiftest tidal currents in the northwest. The weather and conditions couldn't have been more perfect and Bowman Bay and Deception Pass State Park are absolutely picturesque.
Watching Eric at the Start; Carmen loved scrambling on the trails at the Park - the steeper the better
