Saturday morning and memories of Alaska

The sea was still rough today and paddling through the tunnel was a challenge

Then we went to play in the waves, but had to share with other users

Zohar was showing what she could do

Great style and skill

Mickey was there too

And here`s our video from the Alaska trip, Hadas was the photographer and did the editing and producing. i love it.

singing [paddling] in the rain

Setting out for the afternoon paddle in a south westerly wind


Passing the bottle at  the turn around point
The waves were over 1 m but not threatening at all
suddenly the rain started
Everybody out there loved it



like jewels dancing on the water

well kayaking is a wet sport isn`t it
