Remembering Keith: Maui 2008

Keith, morning run to the Molokini Crater, Maui.

Keith, on the left.

I think he's smiling in this one.

I had thought this pretzel-yogic move was mine, but looking more closely, that's Keith.
We were both wearing our trusty Rocket Fins, which is what threw my initial indentification.

I miss you, man.

Mendocino Sunshine . . . in February

The Walk-Launch

The walk-launch; or, glad I'm wearing a wetsuit.

The shorebreak was small but hefty enough to stop my kayak in its tracks, perhaps send it back up the beach or capsize it, so I walked it past the breakers before mounting.

I'm holding the paddle incorrectly, by the way. I have the paddle reversed and am using the back of the paddle to propel the craft. I took one or two strokes to get some momentum, and then switched the paddle to the proper side and direction.

Proper paddling here.
