Todd Hits A Rock

Thursday afternoon we got out for a couple of hours. We found some nice waves breaking just north of Rock Island, within sight of Stonington.


Of course, the waves are breaking because they're hitting a shallow spot, which is largely sandy, but has a few big... rocks.


Todd landed right on top of some boulders. He's having difficulty rolling because his bow is stuck on a rock. Good thing I was there to take pictures. He got it on video on the helmet cam, but this video process still needs tweaking; there's either water on the lens or the camera gets pointed the wrong way or something. We paddled through some nice waves over to George's Head, but... up and down, up and down... yeah, the video is a bit vomit-inducing.

In Training

Sea kayaking: it's not just an adventure, it's a workout. Here's Todd, towing a lobster boat, just for kicks.



Of course, afterward, it's important to do some kayak yoga in the cockpit.



Here we are yesterday, rounding Sparrow Island. It was fairly calm in Stonington Harbor, but we headed out to the ledges where we found some nice waves. Air temps were in the high 40's, water temps maybe 10 degrees less. Todd's helmet cam caught some of it, but it induces seasickness. Soon we'll have video.
