Another Farm Island Paddle

After supper Pat came out to the campground so we could go for a paddle. Originally we had planned to start by the polo grounds and go around the islan, but the weather forecast was not too promising. So. we decided to avoid the main channel and just start at the campground and stay between there and the island. As we headed downstream the paddling was easy so we decided to just continue down to the end of the island. There was a slight breeze in our faces so we figured it would make a quicker paddle back. That theory held for a while, but after starting the return trip the tail wind died down and then switched around to be another headwind. It looked like another storm was headed our way so about the time we decided to get back to the near shore the wind started to pick up even more. After getting back near the shore it REALLY picked up and made the last half mile of the paddle tough. And, as usual, the wind died back down about the time we were done. The pictures that follow show how much the weather can change in an hour and a half. From sunny and bright, to cloudy. All told we put another 5.7 miles on our boats.
