Moonlight Paddle

The weather couldn't have been more cooperative for our evening paddle.  It was a full Harvest Moon and the lack of clouds and wind made for a perfect evening.  Six of us launched out of South Lake Union park to experience nighttime paddling.  Except for a few slow moving boats on the water, we were the only ones on the lake.  It was a time to enjoy the sounds of our paddles moving through the water and the utter beauty of the Seattle skyline all lit up.  We also were treated to some fireworks and saw some magical flying luminaries as they were released over Gas Works park.  Simply amazing.

 Luminaries coming from Gas Works park - wish the picture turned out better.  It was a wonderful treat.
