There is nothing that can compare to the feeling you get when you are flying over calm water in a kayak. Looking down you experience vertigo... Cliffs of rock wheel up at you covered in seaweed, anenomes, shells and sand dollars. Luminous green patches promise sandy ocean floors thirty or forty feet below. It feels as if you could fall into the depths and be whisked away into another world. I now know why sailors used to go crazy and jump overboard.
It is hard to capture in pictures, but I've included a few that I thought showed how clear it was. We spent over fours hours on the water, starting out very early in the morning. It was completely calm the entire time and so warm in the sun that we almost fell asleep suntanning on our picnic blanket after lunch.
It's amazing looking down at your own shadow on the ocean floor... Can you believe that this was April fifteenth?
