It was early November on this beautiful day as we paddled through Barnaget Bay, in NJ. The day was warm. The bay was void of all boats and wave runners. It was just ours. I was with my friend, Tilman. He told me that he is going to call up this day in his memory in January when he is complaining about the cold and darkness.
I have kayaked in icy conditions before but I don't think my paddle could chop through this ice. And I'm not going to suit up and find out. I will drink a beer instead.
