sea kayaking..

So my trip, although it was long, contained very little sea kayaking. I believe the first day we spent about 4 hours on the ocean paddling and the last two days we spent roughly 3 hours paddling. The ocean was rather calm, only 1-2 foot seas every now and then. We saw two helicopters and one boat from far away the entire trip. I think we got roughly 12 hours of sleep each night, and when we weren't sleeping or paddling we were setting up camp, taking down camp or cooking camp food. The first night my tent mates weren't very helpful in trying to keep the rain fly off of the tent, so the tent was pretty wet the next morning. The second night was dryer, but they left one of the screens open and we had about 20 slugs inside of our tent in the morning. I wasn't pleased either way. I'm not disappointed that we didn't do very much paddling, simply because the weather wasn't great. But I am excited to come home and go sea kayaking next summer!!

Our tent..filled with slugs, headed home today!

This is a whisper light, I cooked 4 meals and many pots of boiling water on this thing.
I might even consider myself a whisper light pro by now!

Cooking tent, the rain finally let up.

Huddled in the cooking tent under a clear sky,
boiling water so we'll have hot nalgenes by our feet at night,
listening to Ben Howard,
what a trip.. :)
