Possibly the Last Good Paddling Day of the Year
Today turned out to be sunny and relatively warm out. Since our afternoon was free we decided to take advantage of what might possibly be the last good day for paddling this year. We took a couple boards down to the river and paddled upstream for a while before turning around and heading back. The current is starting to pick up already so it was a bit more of a workout than we expected.

Corvallis Fall Festival
We set up a booth and spent this weekend at the Corvallis Fall Festival with our boards. We had a great time talking with everyone. The first day was warm and sunny but the second day was cold and rainy. We were one of the only artists not worried about our art getting wet.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding - Waldo Lake
We took a couple boards to Waldo Lake today. We paddled around in the amazingly clear water and explored a few of the islands. There are three launching areas to choose from, we prefer North Waldo. There are islands close by that shelter it so the water is always calm. It's best to get there earlier in the day before the wind picks up.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding - Corvallis to Albany
Completed a 12 mile paddle from Corvallis to Albany along the Willamette River today. It's a great time of year to do this paddle because the current and depth of the river aren't bad. It took just under three hours to make it from the water front area by the bridge in Corvallis to Bryant Park in Albany.
Here's a map of where the river led us along our paddle from Corvallis to Albany.
We didn't start our paddle until the afternoon so we made it to our destination in the evening, just as the sun was getting lower and it was starting to cool off.

Two Days of Stand Up Paddle Boarding
We spent the weekend with friends and family at Fern Ridge sailing and paddling. We anchored out our boat, rafted up with friends, and relaxed and barbecued while listening to the live band playing nearby. Of course we brought along an SUP board for everyone to play with.
We had some occasional visitors while out paddling the lake...
These guys would swim up to the surface and come in for a closer look at us before finally swimming away.
We also had visitors flying around above hoping for food.
