A few fun photos from the week:


Monday: It's amazing what silly things you can get your subjects to do as soon as you're pointing a camera

Tuesday: After paddling a kayak solo on Sunday, I thought working a tandem would be a breeze with the extra engine. It turns out there's more to it than that: not only is all the weight no longer right in the middle but the paddles aren't centered anymore either. All that makes for harder control, and with rougher water it all added up to a tougher day. As we got a good way up the creek we were exploring, though, things settled down and we could spend some time at a very relaxed pace.

Thursday: The only half hour of bad weather we got the whole trip started 20 minutes before heading out on a snorkelling trip in the Florida Keys. When we bought our tickets an hour earlier it was nice and sunny, but it was pouring by the time we boarded the boat. Luckily, things cleared up just as quickly as they turned bad and we ended up having a perfectly nice time out on the reef.

Friday: Trying to get a shot of the four of us...
