Hammersley Inlet-Ride the Tide

Time for a paddle.   Because of the full moon, we noticed a low tide at mid-day and decided to try to Ride the Tide out on Hammersley Inlet, stop for lunch and then ride the tide back in, and that is exactly what we did.

We started here at Walker County Park, just south of Shelton

Here we are starting out on calm waters, heading east

A beautiful day to be on the water

A bit of a headwind and some chop, just to add a little excitement

Best tide ride we've ever had.  Thanks, Keith for driving and taking most of the pictures
