We have a spring tide today, so the tide is up pretty high when I set out paddling this morning. I decided to check out the creek at the head of Kakushdish.


I didn’t get very far before I ran out of water. Pretty soon my paddle was hitting bottom. Time to turn around.

On my way back, I spotted the wolf viewing platform way up in a tree, which reminded me that I was paddling in water that probably wouldn’t even come up to a wolf’s belly, or slow a bear down one bit. I paddled faster.


When I got into deeper water, I spotted this huge jellyfish near the surface.

By the time I got to the mouth of the creek, it was raining pretty good and the wind had picked up to about 15 knots, not very good paddling weather. Time to head back to the boat.
