It always amazes me how a cloudy day often clears up just in time for our 6pm Sunset Kayaking Tour. In fact, the 6pm trip is my favorite of all the kayaking trips for this very reason. So often, the sun creeps out, the wind and waters calm down, the boat traffic dissapears and the wildlife comes out. Last night I had a chance to hop in a boat with a single guest and get out from behind the desk and on the water. After a cloudy, somewhat chilly day, the weather rolled out and we were left with a wonderful, sunny paddle. The water was so calm it looked like silver. There were barely any boats out and just one sea plane taking off (which is a cool sight from a kayak). We saw several harbor seals quietly hunting for dinner- and even saw one splashing around chasing a fish! On the west side of Henry Island we watched freighters quietly rolling across a backdrop of islands and mountains. Just north of Half Moon Bay, we saw the highlight of our trip- a juvinaile Bald Eagle in a nest with two mature Bald Eagles watching from another tree. Another amazing trip!
