Yeah, but…
Rain paddling is fun when it is falling. Not so much when the rain is moving laterally from wind storms vice falling.
I think you PNWers may be better adapted to rain than most of us - but we enjoy it too…
Visually its like fog - the soft edges are comfortable in their way. It gets more uncomfortable on the third or fourth day. The visual charms seem less charming.

And me on the same day,
Before I retired if it was planned it was a done deal. Now that I have time, I don’t go in questionable weather.
I’m pretty sure that’s a big smile in the last picture!!
It is. It was pouring buckets - one just has to laugh heartily at yourself when engaged in something that goofy. The phrase “crazy as a loon in a bowl full of tuna fish” sometimes comes to mind. And it was a planned done deal, as string said. The shuttle was run - we were going paddling. Period.
SSV Corwith Cramer at sunset. 134’ steel brigantine operated by the Sea Education Association out of Woods Hole MA. She has been here in St Pete for a couple of months waiting for the next at sea program to begin.
I’ve never been to Spring Island.
The Squamish & Elaho rivers in BC Canada, not sure if that’s Fraser Canyon
"Where the hell is Chassahowitza ?"or that’s what the t-shirt says. My brother and I spent a couple of days there in a dump but it was close to the ramp. And there were a couple of manatee families close by.
