Getting ready for paddle season

The Waterfront Recreation Director

Mike got the kayaks and SUP boards out yesterday afternoon. We sat and admired them, but the tide wasn't cooperating. There was nothing to do but drink margaritas and eat cheese doodles instead, in honor of the wonderful season ahead that will begin soon, soon, soon, we fervently hope.

Today it's raining and in the low 40s.

Ah well. Off to the pool for boring laps. First day (with wetsuits) for open-water swimming is usually Memorial Day weekend, but my triathlete friends are impervious to pain and often agitate to start sooner. Julie, if you're reading this, you know who I'm talking about, right?
