A couple of cool randoms from the interwebs

From the land of Facebook, a couple of cool pictures...

Ship Rock, as captured by Nehtia Barrios.
This rock, just off of Catalina Island, holds an important place in the hearts of many paddlers.
It is, to some extent, the point of no return.

The view back on the trip home, as captured by amazing photographer Chris Aguilar.
This was from a BARK team 3 day joeventure (that's a Joe Bark Adventure) in which they:
Day 1.  Paddled to the island from the mainland,
Day 2.  Ran a marathon on Catalina Island,
Day 3.  Paddled home.

The Harbor Rats, plus some... and we're still missing a good chunk of the Rats.
Kevin White built his own dory. He's the guy in the big yellow row boat with the banana rocker.
Kevin is rowing for a cause called Food for Thought, meant to highlight the need
to provide good healthy food alternatives for school children. CLICK FOR LINK
In June, we're doing a relay race down the coast on behalf of Food for Thought.
This was a photo taken last night to be used for publicity.

The Davenport Downwinder.
This is a 14 mile downwind race in May put on by Jeff Denholm,  Craig Waltz, and the rest of the
loonies in the Ghostryders Waterman's Club.
This poster nails the emotions, feelings, and idea behind this event.

Kind of makes spam musubi seem healthy.

A Lazy Sunday Paddle

Went out with Jack to scout out the coastline.  Tales of seals bitten in half didn't deter us.  [CLICK HERE FOR LINK]  Tales of a gray whale hanging out by Shark's Point only fueled the paddling desire.

A slow, lazy, overcast, Sunday paddle.  No wind, no bumps, no sharks, and while we did have a whale sighting, we never got photographic proof.

Did have fun with the new(er) waterproof camera.

Starting out...

A couple of shots of Jack:

Then I took off:

Off of Shark's Point, closer to Hammy's, we spotted a gray whale... who promptly dove and hid.

Click on this one.
There is a boil from where the whale was hiding.
Seriously, it's there.
Seriously.

Jack was pensive about this development.

"Why must you hide from me?"

So, after hanging to no avail,

We paddled home.

All told, a good relaxing time on the water.  Thanks, Jack.
