This past weekend June 26,27 & 28 a bud and I paddled in three beautiful places along the Strait of Juan DeFuca which I had never paddled. Friday, under sunny skies, minimal winds and 65 degree temps we paddled Freshwater Bay which is just west of Port Angeles WA. Saturday at the crack of dawn 10:00 AM we hit Crescent Bay. Again, a glorious summer day in the Pacific Northwest, 75 degrees and thankfully a nice 10-15 kt breeze out of the northwest. A great place to paddle, if conditions are right this is a great surfing beach and even on calm day's if your looking for some adventure head out from the beach toward a big red buoy which guards a reef. When you see a large kelp bed west of the buoy , your getting close. Boomers appear to the west of the buoy for your paddling pleasure ! Sunday we did actually get up kinda early and hit Lake Crescent at 9 am. The color of the water in the lake is truly ausome, ice blue and an icy temperature to match. Another beautiful day under blue skies and a nice breeze we paddle for a couple of hours before jumping back into the truck and heading back to civilization :-(.
