fresh unsalted

what, no salt?...........................

living proof that sea kayaks go most anywhere
mixing crisp cascades and rounded warm rocks
with mellow pools wafting with orchid fragrance

i was also curious how the hammer would go as a day tourer
...paddled just fine
and feeling more and more like my 'go to' boat
It's also a stable camera platform, if that floats your boat
If you're with 'go fast straight' paddlers, they may complain
but you'll have way more fun, when you get there!

pretty blue stick is a nutilik - paddled just fine

pretty fresh water is a pretty hour's drive away
- part of my repertoire of paddleable waters
where paddling time exceeds driving time

(now got the vimeo link to work - something strange 'upstream' i suspect)

salt sweet salt

salt sweet salt is a sunday mini-adventure, into the wilderness, with me paddling mate, brendan.
Into the mix goes some rolls, "cave chicken", weeny waves, and 'portal drags' at the salt/sweet/salt transitions.........
And all set against some ear catching audio "doots"..........

You're really missing out, if you don't have a (at least one) plastic in your quiver!

Only 'bug in paradise' are the links to the vid - you may have to copy and paste vid URLs to 'get there' - soz

Still worth checking out, especially on a larger screen - it's a sweet vid   ; ]

don't rush your roll..........

so placid under...
i return............ 
light in my mother

funning in and out of clefts

when the seas are flattish
you just need somewheres
to focus energy.......... and the fun
please don't wake me 
coz i'm loving this dream    ; ]

happy dad's day!

happy dad's day to all the kayaking dads in oz (also NZ PNG and fiji)
(i can't help it if there is no agreed international standard on what makes a good kayak date father's day should be celebrated!)
hope your day was as good as mine

thanks to my family for the love, pressies 
and understanding for my kayaking passion

digging the hammer heaps

love 'em all!

soz - ain't got no vid - i'm about 15 vids behind!........ and my HDs are c-l-o-g-g-i-n-g up

(maybe i should crowdsource a personal assistant? or a 4k capable desktop setup??)
