"A St. Philip's Trek"

Stroking against the wind on our weekly outings on Thursdays in St. Philip's.

"Main Thorough Fair"

As you can tell by the backdrop, same spot different paddlers. Clyde above and Tony below.

This spot goes down the guts of Conception Bay, Bell Island Tickle, or St. Philip's. However you frame it the waters are shared and shared by kayakers alike.

"St. Philip's Or Bust"

Waves for everyone. Hard not to smile when gliding on their tops.

"Paddling Modes"

I just thought I'd follow Sean a bit on our outing in St. Philip's on Thursday Night. The wind was howling and gusting up to about 30kt SW. A land breeze I guess. We were just exercise paddling I think. Exerting energy for the fun of it. Practising squares, triangles and every other angle into the malestrom. Sometimes even paddling backward gave better progress. Go figure!

Sometimes dipping in troughs....

executing extended paddle turns in the wind.....

my stealthy presence goes undetected. I certainly could not be heard, the wind was too loud for that. It was just sweet to be on the water no matter what was flying in our faces.

"Sign Says..."

Tony chill'n while we wait for Malcolm to begin a wicked paddle in St. Philip's today. GAve us a chance to catch up on some news and such. Seems our paddles together now are less frequent but they aways have the enjoyable and fun factor associated with them when ever we are at it. Great paddle today Tony.

"Kayaking Forever"

If you are going to be on the water you should be prepared to have fun. Tony, Malcolm and I did just that today. It was one of those days with no real destination in mind just friendly paddling under various sea conditions with varying weather to match. Really wouldn't want it any other way. Get too hot in the sun anyway.lol

"Rolling, Strokes, Re-Entry and Rolling"

Just a fun video I did before our Thursday paddling sessions at St. Philips on Sept.17th,2009. I was also practising with adding narration and fading in titles and such using my video maker program, so therefore this is rough. Had fun passing the afternoon on a Saturday though. So as I am re-entering my kayak in the video a couple guys show up and start asking questions, slowed down the rentry process just a bit. All in good fun.

"Stationary Sculling"

 

Dereck makes his use of the Greenland paddle fun to watch. At a session at St. Philips on Wednesday.

"Into A Sunset"
