Sounds like you had a great time!

Just out of curiosity, since this was a social event, about how fast
did most of the people go?

It's been too long since I've been on the water. I'm in withdrawal.

The outbound leg was fun with a breeze and wave push. Coming back
was a slog against the cool breeze and some rebound around the
floating dry-dock.

Lunch later at the Colophon Cafe was good. It took a long time for
the warm coffee to reach down to my cold feet. But trading just a
few of the usual insults with the gang warmed my paddling spirit up
right away.
