In honor of St. Patrick's Day, about a dozen of us headed to Goose Creek Reservoir for our second annual St. Pat's paddle.  At this time of year Goose Creek rookeries are asquawk with Ibis, Egrets, and Herons.  This year, however, the 20+ mph winds suggested that we save this paddle for another day.

I arrived early and paddled down to the spillway.  By the time I returned to the landing to find the others pondering their next move, I was soaked.  Not really soaked, because on this chilly March morning I was properly attired in waterproof paddling gear.
