Whitecaps, wind, and roily waters




A very windy day today and the river is wild with whitecaps. Usually the channel is flat and placid so it's a whole different aspect of the water's behavior. I won't be paddling today. The wind is blowing east/upriver, counter to the downtream current. The tallest trees are swaying along the shoreline. Boats are bobbing in the roily waters and there are big splashes on the bows of boats heading downriver.
