Wow...this is great! Magnificent photo.
The Foamy Green (9 months ago)
Yes, but did you go left? Did anyone? My lingering question about going left there is paddling back out-- how much of an issue is that, if at all? (question from a goofy footer)
Good to see you are out there again this year!

oh man! We arrive the 17th and I cannot wait! Hope we get to actually see some of the contest this year as opposed to last year. Did they actually run it yesterday? Looked like it was still waiting period when I checked the website.
I cannot imagine being out in that.
