Another in the “Lakes of Snohomish County” series of paddles is in the books.  Five paddlers showed up for a quiet, relaxed Sunday morning paddle on a small lake. We spotted various waterfowl and one bald eagle.  If you have Google Earth, you may download our tracks here:   Lake Roesiger Paddle . Thanks for the   pictures   Don Erickson!

Werner Furrer Sr. presented the Werner Paddle Story.pdf at February’s club meeting.  We had a great turnout and Werner and his son, Bruce, answered many paddle related questions.  It is so nice to see a small, local family run business successfully producing the worlds best paddles.

 Four crazy kayakers braved the winter elements on Port Susan to find 36 degrees F, 10 knot winds out of the South, light drizzle, and 1’ quartering seas on the way out. We paddled out of Cavalero Beach up to Iverson Spit, it was high tide so we tucked into Triangle cove along the way. We were head into the wind and waves on the way back. For another side trip we went down to the Camano Island Country Club to check out their beach. A kind lady with exquisite taste recognized us as kayakers and had to share a map of the island showing the public access beaches with us. She also mentioned that we were on private property and probably shouldn’t be there. Later Don commented that was the sweetest bum’s rush he’s ever experienced. With the quartering seas the paddle was slightly more challenging than with calm seas. The bigger challenge was trying to find reason to cheer this year’s Super Bowl. Pictures by   Harry Marx .
