So tonight started off pretty awesome. Despite having low water and not very much daylight, we got on the water okay. The launch was only about 3' deep, but we made it work. And this was what we got to see in the main channel motoring out to our spot:



I got in two great slalom runs on water that was even smoother than above. It was fantastic. My buddy hadn't skied in over a year and unfortunately it just didn't click for him to get up on his ski and we went straight to surfing so my wife could have some fun. She got a great surf run on perfect water.

After that it was my turn to surf, and a night surf is what it was.
Had a blast out there and surfed the length of the slough.




For my buddy, it was even more of a night surf. It was also his way of saying goodbye to summer with "Summertime Sadness", "My Sweet Summer is Gone" and other songs chosen for that.


After that we put away all the boards, drained the ballast and headed back through the main channel of the Columbia River to get back to the dock...

And that's where our night took a turn for the worse.
