: My youngest daughter decided to take the summer off dance so we get
: to explore again. After a day of yard work we pulled out a pygmy
: tern 14 and a waters dancing solace we have not used in a long
: time and paddled a shallow 3" to 24" estuary (just
: north of the Great Salt Lake and south of the Bear River Bird
: Refuge) for the evening. We saw a lot of birds, enjoyed 60
: degree temps. with a light breeze, and enjoyed the wood kayaks
: instead of the glass ones we have been paddling. It doesn't get
: much better. We decided the boats are going in the garage for a
: fast sanding and refinishing.

Or paddle all summer and varnish in the (v. late) fall, eh?

Beautiful picture, by the way.
