The weather is slowly coming into season. It hasn't been consistent, but I've done what I can to come out whenever there's a chance. This photo I think is from my fifth trip out on Lake Union. Ever since I moved my kayak to a new storage location on the marina, coming in for a couple of sunlight hours to paddle has been possible. Granted the traffic takes away a good hour, but there is now enough sunlight to make up for it. I still feel like a rookie, but I'm happy at the progress I'm making. By experience, I'm learning more about blade travel and angle. I've also been able to travel farther and longer and I think better mechanics with my stroke are working out. Still, I feel like a rookie. Edging and navigating through wind are points for improvement. I'm going to have to do better if I'm to do this in the bay area someday (where the wind is a constant).
