Kayakers in the rain

Trekking kayakers enter Gorge Harbour late in the soggy afternoon on Wednesday. Rain has been steady and frequently very determined since beginning around noon. It is now early morning Thursday. The clouds hover low over the water. Rainfall has abated. The night however  saw persistent lines of strong fronts throw barrages of water and wind across the small bay.
South winds are predicted today the full length of the Strait of Georgia. "Strong wind warnings" are in effect. This official designation is prompted by wind velocities between 10 -15 knots. The warning seems a usual state for the Strait. Good advice to be sure as the sea state can be riled by such a sustained blow.
