    Paddling SOLO

    I don't do too much differently, just radio, immersion gear, self recovery gear and an extra paddle. I'm usually much more attentive to weather forecasts, tides and currents on solo trips than I am on group trips. If there's a remote possibility I could be in danger, I'll usually try to steer...

    2009 WCP Spring Campout - photos, stories, and comments

    Amazing time out there! I was so blissed out on Sunday, I could barely muster up the energy to leave the beach. A beautiful sunny weekend with good friends. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face until this morning. I'll post a better report in my blog later this week, but for now, here's some...

    Ok, who got rescued today?

    Not me. :) I was on the Tsawwassen ferry coming back into Swartz Bay when the mayne queen called in. I was watching 2-3 foot swell with 2-3 foot wind chop and some spray on top of it. Coal didn't look like a nice place to be in a kayak at that point. Hope they learned their lesson. :/ At least...

    Point & Shoot vs DSLR

    One of my paddling buddies has been using a Sony DSC H-9 to good effect and he seems to get up close with birds pretty nicely. not sure what a 15x zoom would be equivalent to in 35mm, but seems like it's a pretty good zoom lens - still the same old noise problem, but it's a lot better than the...

    WHERE DID YOU PADDLE - January 2009

    I enjoyed a great paddle from Mill Bay to Cherry Point and it was just a serene calm bathtub day. Not too much to report. The day was fairly cold, but once the sun broke through the clouds a bit, it warmed up just fine. The coastline here is all trees, cliffs and houses broken up by a few rocky...
