Seattle officially made 90F today! It broke a 52 year record high for 17 May...

Of course, I hd to take advantage of such great weather...I headed out for a nice paddle around the Washington Arboretum in the kayak that I acquired last year. Beautiful weather for a paddle there - but very dangerous for anyone paddling on snow melt fed rivers. At least twopeople are missing...with many more rescued on rivers in full flood and vey, very cold water (90F day and 40F water make for instant hypothermia!).

There's a few photos from my paddle in the May 2008 album.
