The Duffel Bag

Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.

Down distant paths for unmapped miles.

Heads forget but hearts remember:

The art of living knows no bounds.

* Walker Creek Paddle on Tomales Bay

We launched at Miller Park at low tide, paddled out around the oyster beds, got lost in the fog, finally found the mouth of Walker Creek, and paddled to the end. We rode the flood tide in, had lunch, and paddled out on the slack tide.

We then finished the afternoon with fresh oysters on the half shell and fresh clam chowder at Nick's Cove Restaurant. A beautiful day on Tomales Bay.

* Lake Solano Paddle

We had a nice paddle on Lake Solano, which is located on Putah creek below lake Berryessa. Although we have driven by this lake several times, we have never paddled it. At 1 hour 45 minutes from home it's a little far for what it is, but with fishing, camping, and birding opportunities we will probably be back at some point.
