Fun on the beach at home in Olympia, WA

My son James is visiting us from Florida this week. Wednesday we gathered at our beach access on Eld Inlet of Puget Sound. Here are some pictures that we'll remember fondly because we plan to sell this nice family home and move to the Carolinas.

Wednesday was warm with no wind so we did Stand Up Paddling or SUPing as it is called. Here's James contemplating his first SUP.


Apparently we were very puzzling to the harbor seals because they usually popped up to investigate as you will see in the following pictures.


Here's my friend Rob doing his first SUP.


Wife Catherine has great balance and never even got her hair wet. I can't say the same for myself.


James and Catherine.

The next day (Thursday) was very windy. No SUPing for us but James had a real "woo hoo" afternoon windsurfing. See our videos on his blog: SUP Windsurfing

Here's a glimpse of his fun on the water.
