Halloween

By -
It was a slow start last night.  We usually get over run with Trick or Treaters and for awhile I thought that they may not come.  But just when hope was lost the kids came in force.  This is one of the most fun times of the year.  Not only do kids get to dress up, adults do as well.  I did not get a costume so I was in a pinch.  My friend Penny had some face paint and got some gross fake tattoos and that is all you really need.  I had to be in costume for the Trick or Treaters.  Some people came over and we had spirits and handed out candy.  When all of the candy was gone we headed to town for some live music.  The Lords of Tiamat and Jesus Chords were set to play so we could not miss that.  It was a pretty fun night.  Halloween is one of those strange yet special times of the year.

Well I am suppose to go to Seattle tonight as there are more Halloween parties and festivities there.  But I will have to figure it out.  I am pretty tired and I am not sure if I can stand being on the ferry.  Plus I am in Seattle Thursday for a Mason Jennings show.  OH YEA!!!!


This picture says it all.  Its Halloween!



Yes we are two serious people.  It is what happens when inmates and zombie looking creatures hang out.


Ahh a clash of time eras. 



Scary people.



I have to say my costume is strange, but so is Halloween.



The beautiful people, the beautiful people.  Wait,, is that a song?



Two of my good friends.  Photo is from Penny.


I had to put this one up as it shows the skin problem I have developed.  The doctor said it is stress related. LOL....


Look I got some candy.  They are Ghost Dots.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Astral Greenjacket Review

I have finally spent a bit more time in the Astral Greenjacket and I have decided it is time to go ahead with my finally review of the product. My previous jacket was a Stohlquist Brik .  Which is a side entry style jacket.  I was really happy with performance and fit.  I did have a zipper problem which was a not really taken care of by Stohlquist.  I was teaching a class and was performing a "Cowboy/Back Deck" rescue and the zipper broke.  When I contacted service dept to get it fixed they wanted me to pay shipping and charge for the repair of a new jacket.  I passed on the factory repair and did the best I could do. I do not recommend that.  Next issue I had was there is simply no storage on the vest.  Not that big of a deal since I try to not load myself with stuff.  Overall it was a good fit and a clean front making it snag free while messing about the deck of my sea kayak. On to the Greenjacket !   My use of the Greenjacket is for sea kayak guiding and personal kayaking

Morning Kayak Lessons

A good start to the day when you wake up and see the sun and having to get on the water to teach kayak lessons.  Though it was cold outside, I could tell it was going to warm nicely once the sun had time to do its work.  After a cup of coffee it was time to meet Lauren (my student for the class) and load the gear and get on the water.  The water was perfect, flat calm and good for learning the basics.  Lauren has taken classes before and it pretty up to speed on self rescue.  So we were out to work on kayak handling skills.  Mainly driving home proper edging, body movement and blade placement. After the lesson it was off to grab a bite to eat and get back outside.  I of course headed out to check in the Red Tailed Hawks (RTHs).  I ran into Monika again,  http://orcawatcher.blogspot.com/  , who once again got great images on the RTHs in flight. She got some images of the pair together.  I was able to locate the Rufous Morph further south. There was a visitor with me in town from London

Seward G3 Passat Kayak Review

Our good friends at Seward Kayaks on Vancouver Island build amazing kayaks with attention to detail.  As a Sea Kayak Guide for Discovery Sea Kayaks , I have been around the G3 Passat tandem kayak for over 5 years. Overall my preference is a single kayak but for tours, we put all clients in tandem kayaks.  So by default, I have had the chance to get to know the kayaks really well.   The first impression you get when you unwrap one of this kayak is WOW!  They are very pleasing to the eye with great lines and beautiful profile.  The finish of the kayak is great.  Typically really smooth without any pockets or imperfections in the gel coat.  There is no denying they are one of the best looking tandems you can buy. Specifications: Length: 22 feet Width: 26 inches Weight: 90 pounds Looking at the specs you can see that the long waterline combined with the narrow beam (width), for a tandem, that this is a fast kayak.  At first, we were a bit worried about the wid
