Pat's Last Ride

Had a last paddle out for our beloved friend Patrick Malak , who passed last Nov. Here's Alan Casagrande with his water camara and Pat's bag of ashes in his backpack goin for one last ride at Leo one of Pat's favorite spot's



Alan going out with Pat for the last time.



Just close family and friends, such a nice weekend to camp there, good weather and a few waves.



I was paddling out to the pack and had to snag this one.



Paddling out with my daughter Erin, nice to have here back in town for awhile, she is getting her teaching degree at CSUN this fall.




Buddy Bill Kaiser gave a nice few well chosen words and we sent Pat back to the Sea, a nice NW wind caught Pat's ashes and I mixed in one of his favorite brews. Pat will be there all the time now, and that's pretty cool. Back to the campsites for a few drinks some good BQ by Nui Nui. All in all a nice send off to a loyal friend a good brother and a great uncle, Via con Dios Pat.

Made in the USA

My Red Wings, I have resold these 4 or 5 times , made in the USA.





One more go round, they fit like a pair of old gloves, I went to get some new ones and most of the Redwing line is made overseas now but they still make Irishsetters here in the US.
