Part XVII: Sea kayaking

Another day of beautiful sunny skies in Tadoussac. I figured screw the office, I'm going out into the field. Good idea but I don't think I got much good footage from it. Unfortunate in terms of useable material but good in terms of learning how to sea kayak.
It was also another opportunity for me to wear another ravishing outfit.

Looking good eh? I'm going for the human-kayak meld there, once again in a ravishing yellow life vest, this time with matching yellow kayak.
The fjord is really beautiful and the weather was perfect for kayaking, but because the tide was coming in there were some huge waves. It was actually a lot of fun being buffeted around but I was worried for the welfare of my camera.
All in all our group kayaked 8 km (3 hours).
Here is me at the turn around. Notice the look of elation (a break!)

It makes me confident that I can actually do this kayak excursion planned. Our longest day will take about 4-6 hours of paddling depending on the weather. It will probably be longer with the stopping to get footage, but still a do-able day.
Post-kayak I am surprised. My arms are fine, what hurts most are my knees and inner thighs from working the rudder.
More kayaking Friday!


No cameras were hurt in the making of today's footage.
