Night Paddle

We started out just under the North end of the Aurora bridge at about 5 pm. It was pretty chilly but once you're out there paddling it warms up fast. It was a nice evening, very light wind and boat traffic. We did see The Duck a couple times and also the Boeing Yacht Daedalus.


We paddled past Gas Works Park...


...under the I-5 Ship Canal and University Bridges...



...and after a brief stop at Agua Verde for a bite to eat (ask me about the dock that every goose within a 10 mile radius uses for a latrine!) it was back in the kayak and on to the Arboretum. I thought it would be very dark out on the water but, contrary to what this picture shows, visibility was good.  FYI - this waterway has no shortage of beaver. Big, tail-slapping beaver.
