"Into A Sunset"

 Derrick paddling into a setting sun during an outing this evening at Conception Bay.

"A Moon Pilot"

 Heaading in from Conception Bay following the mooon to shore.

"Paddle Silhouettes"

 Paddling in conditions this evening at St. Phillips in Conception Bay Newfoundland. The silhouettes of the paddler's blades dot the horizon.

'Says It All"

 Tony pretty much saying it all this evening as we wrap up a paddle at St. Phillips, Newfoundland.

"The Gang"

 Thanks guys for an excellent paddle from Bellevue Beach To almost Rantem Harbour more like Chance Cove as it turns out. A wicked sunny clear day and there definitely was no other place that one would rather be than on the waters of Newfoundland today.

"The Shuttle"

 Not the space one but the kayak one. Probably jammed in as tight as they are in the shuttle though. Thanks to the use of Gerry's Volvo and Kokatat for their bright yellow interior. The beginning of our Argentia kayak trip this past Sunday.

"Paddlers"

Some of the paddling gang for the Argentia, Placentia Bay to Placentia Sound and Fox Harbour kayak trip. Tony Rostenburg, Alison Dyer and Neil Burgess, Dave Jenkins, Peter Armitage and Gerry Power, wow I can remember names in the club now! Great paddle and as always I try and take something learned away from the trip. Today it was that if you are leading and there are others drifting behind more than some it is important at some point to wait for them to catch up but more importantly, when they catch up, to continue waiting while they too have an opportunity to rest and then proceed and maybe even give someone else an opportunity to lead perhaps even with a different pace.

"Food"

 A great part of paddling is the munching when you break for just that purpose. There was a rotting building here that provided an excellent platform for sitting and eating. An American Military Base was set up in Argentia years back so this may have been part of their left overs, so to speak. We found a few such things along the way.

"The Group"

The white water group at The Ruins on the lower Terra Nova river during our Kayak Newfoundland Retreat for the May long weekend. Needless to say again everyone was stoked to paddle with Bryan Smith and Mark Dykeman of our club.

"Stretching"

One cannot emphasize the importance of stretching before a trip and even during breaks of the trip and after the trip....OK maybe more important at my age.lol It certainly helps you to relax both mentally and physically. This is the put-in site at Happy Adventure Bay where we were to paddle from to Swale Island.

"The Belle Gang"

Our ferry to Bell Island for a circumnavigation. What an awesome day this turned out to be. Truely a blast.
