Stability Limits

Had a great trip through the Turnbull Island group and then through to the Serpent River. What beautiful weather we had here during September this year. Most interesting site was a bear swimming to an island 3 kms off shore with at least 2 kms of open water to cross to it. I thought I was fairly safe from bears camping on islands ... not any longer.

Just going through some pictures of the Gulf Islands. I toured there back in early July, 2009. Great trip, Extraordinary weather. Loved the scenery and enjoyed the tide challenges. I'll have to go back for a longer visit in a more remote spot next time

I had a great time in the Benjamin Islands last week despite the "back" issues. A beautiful place for sure but its not getting away from the crowds. The Churchhill Islands will be next - less crowded, lots of reefs, and just my place to be.

Just finished reading a book on kayak safety and rescue and decided to update my "throw line" package into a proper "tow line" system. I added a snap buckle to the one end of the rope for quick attachment and release and I also bought a tie-down strap device with a quick release buckle so I can attach the package to my waist. Isn't pretty but works fine. I am confident that when I need it now I will be prepared.
