Vacation

I'm relaxing with my mother, sister, brother-in-law, a niece, and two nephews on Dauphin Island near the mouth of Mobile Bay.  I'm an awfully regimented guy at home, so a little unstructured time for a few days will probably do me some good.

I thought the day might get by without any paddling, but in the late afternoon the kids expressed some interest, so I took each of them out.  A thunderstorm had blown through earlier and the wind was rather fierce--not a great day for novice paddlers.  The worst place was where we put in, where the waves slammed against a little concrete wall lining the bank.  But the kids handled it all reasonably well.
