These pics were taken of me at the Nanaimo Paddlers Fun Day. I was determined to master my cowboy re-entry. This is not an easy feat when you have a big butt and a small boat; add bad knees to the mix and you have a challenge! :lol: :lol: :shock: :lol: :lol:

Climbing on...

Sculling and squishing - you can see tha pain and concentration, no?

SUCCESS! I credit the photographer! He really captured the emotions well!

YES!
 
Believe it or not, this is in the San Juans near Stuart Isle. It looks like some tropical beach somewhere.


That me...

Thanks for the cool pics Dion. Personally, I prefer picture number two! :big_thumb It really demonstrates the precision in the sport. I find it amazing that the hand heights, body angles and everything else are perfectly aligned. I would certainly put that picture up on my wall. :clap: :clap:
 
Hey thanks sheila, ya sprint kayaking makes for some really good photo's. and I am glad that you like my work.
 
Look at the muscle definition on the stern the rear paddler. Holy cow!
 
I like this photo that Greg Polkinghorn took of me on Estevan Sound. It was a lovely day.

Judy and I "sailing" across Glover's Reef in Belize, March 2011. Couldn't find more than a whisper of air; not enough to need to brace once in over 6 km!

If you saw the weather on the previous days of the trip, you'd understand ;) I think I was mostly just tired from the 40+ mile paddle the previous day.
