Merry Christmas

By -
Today was Christmas and I hope everyone had a wonderful day.  Many thanks to all my friends who contacted me to wish me a Merry Christmas.  It was a really nice day here in Arkansas with sunny skies.  Though I spent most of my day inside with family.  It was a lot of fun since this is the only time of year I get to see my niece and nephews.  They are growing fast and maybe I can turn one or two of them into kayakers.  

On Christmas Eve we fixed a nice dinner and my friends Tim and Cherri came by.  It was fun to spend time with them and I hope they had safe travels today.

Well here are few photos from around the house.  These photos are just of family and stuff around the house.  So I understand if they are not for everyone.  But I have a lot of family that check the site and it will be fun for them to see whats going on.


Mom setting at the counter while Dad slaves away in the kitchen.  Mom just had foot surgery so she cannot get around that well.  Tim and Cherri are hanging out for Christmas Eve.


Here is my sister with one of my Mom's dogs (Zoe)


Mom is kicking it in her chair.  I love the crutches with her little dog Rocky.


Here is my niece and nephew.  My nephew was not to into getting his picture taken.


Here is one of my other nephews.  He is hold up a Christmas puppy.  My youngest nephew, which seems to have escaped getting his photo taken, got the little puppy for Christmas.  She is really cute.


So my Mom has a thing for dogs.  As you may have noticed.  Here is a couple of her babies.  The larger dog was dumped out of a car a year ago and my parents took him in.  He it a really cool dog.  The smaller one is just crazy, but a lot of fun.


After a long day of Christmas activity my Mom decided to take a rest.  Her little baby decided she was tired to.  For a little dog she snores really loud.

Well I am sure this was a really boring post for most of you out there.  But for my friends and family I am sure it is pretty funny.

Merry Christmas and have a good night.

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
