the s.s. perception

that break would take about 10 minutes of paddling. and it’s getting dark out, like real dark out.

thank you. that’s a flattering compliment.

thanks again gail.

thank you eelsblueEllen. it was pretty powerful. good and bad. the pic is the good.

thank you Mr. Meyers. please put down the machete.

thanks so much mimi. I’m glad my photo can bring you to such a beautiful place. you really should do yourself a favor and really go though… it’s indescribable.

thank you Mr. Sound.

thanks alvin

a very calm wow.
thanks pip.

i love that you love your boat. let’s end it here as it’s getting a bit weird in here.
sadly, this isn’t my boat but one I was borrowing. I need access to a boat like this. I live on an island now and a boat to love would be lovely. but I have no boat.

I always saw it as a pastime of the privileged and thus snubbed my working class nose at it. something I could never afford. but, as I have with photography, I think I might prioritize one into my life over the next few years. it’s a necessary indulgence for my soul.
thanks for the compliment on the shot.

I think I can borrow one from time to time up here on the island from a friend. I hope to. today would have been perfect!

thanks adam. there are very few angles attainable in a kayak without the possibility of ending up upside down underwater. a position you don’t want to be in with your camera. this shot almost landed me in just that position.

hope you’re wearing your woolies.
thanks alex.

thanks very much. i think living in it would dampen the experience. (pun intended. ) where would you keep your fridge?

thanks Mike. he’s taking some liberties since the big announcement and hasn’t even gotten out of his pajamas today! slacker.

thank you halftone.

thanks F.A. I missed it on the community shout out.

the mass of land on the left is Graham Island in the Queen Charlottes and the left is Hippa. I wouldn’t go much past the point on the left as the seas got heavier there. I was pretty much on the cusp of where the seas changed from the calm of Nesto Inlet to the not-so-calm of the north pacific. Once or twice I ventured out to visit some low tide caves, but my cheapo kayak, my novice paddling skills and a rare bit of common sense (or was it worry for my camera?) kept me safe.
thanks for the comment Adrian
