After The Storm


Day 348: The Nisqually Land Trust's annual Salmon Bake is held in a small private park near Johnson Point overlooking the area of Puget Sound known as the Nisqually Reach. It is a lovely venue with views of both Anderson Island and Key Peninsula with a glimpse of McNeil Island in the distance between the two. Today's event was punctuated by half-inch hail, thunder, lightning and a brief but intense downpour which drove all of us under cover until it had passed over, leaving the bay to mirror the sky almost without a ripple. As tempting as this scene might appear to a kayaker, I am advised that the harbour is subject to strong and unpredictable currents.
