A nice weekend paddle at Siltcoos lake on the OR coast. Lake, river, ocean in one fell swoop. Perfect way to spend the Solstice and celebrate the coming of summer.
They sure make refinishing the gunwales easier, as you can stand up under the boat and the oil doesn't run down the hull. Got a good bit in my hair though, from bumping my head on the gunwales and not ducking enough.
I can't take credit for the design though; I copied them from an earlier post by @Jim Dodd.
Good looking bear. This must be the year of the bear. Our family has been seeing them almost every week all year. Several trophy size. Got this one on trail cam.

We have a lot of bears on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington. They do seem to be very active right now. Two nights ago one scaled and bent down the fence around our garden area to get to our garbage can. I now need to find another solution for garbage.
These two have also been hanging around the neighborhood lately. My Wife took this picture last week.
There does seem to be a lot of bears around this year. Maybe because they are having more cubs than normal. This photo was posted on fb. It was taken a few miles down the road from me. You can clearly see six cubs with a possible seventh in front of the mother. The most I’ve seen was four. A black bear and more rare a grizzly.
