It was really windy today so of course Scott and I took off in the kayaks. It's the most fun when there are epic wavs. Our first goal was to just make it to the island but then we decided to go all the way around. It was really hard. The wind was crazy. If the weather app was right there were gusts up to 23 mph during that time (later it got worse). If you stopped you actually went backwards. I was actually having to duck to try to get less wind resistance. For dinner, we had Dad’s famous hot dogs and played spoons under Olivia’s instruction. At one epic moment it was down to her and I for the win and I actually stole her spoon. I glanced up and saw her face at exactly the right time and could tell she had just gotten the last card so I grabbed the spoon first. It was John’s last day so we all got to say good-bye to him.
It was sooooo windy. I did not sleep well. I was awake almost every hour. Every time I woke up I unzipped my “tent” and used my spotlight to check the boats and kayaks. At four am, I noticed a boat going along the coast on the shore opposite of us and I noticed that even though the wind was still crazy hard the waves had died down. Sometime between 3 and 4am the wind had switched directions.
