Maiden Voyage in Pamlico 135T

(shot with a crappy Polariod CMOS camera. Almost why bother?)

The purple line describes my route. About 4 miles up and back.

Offloaded and ready to launch.

Paddler's Point of View.

Boating, a popular activity.

Life in the sealanes.

A heron or an egret or some kind of stilt-legged bird.

A black-headed duck.

Heron again. I watched him eat a fish.

Easily spooked, the heron takes flight.

...Flying away.

The geese let me know when I got too close.

Down at the marina, an unusual fixed-keel sailboat.

It was a good day for sailing. Stiff breezes.

By midafternoon, there were several canoe and kayak gorups.

On the beach.

Other kayakers on the beach. My boat in the background.

You couldn't ask for a nicer day.
