Random Thoughts

In no particular order, some thoughts recorded during the kayaking:

A large group of dolphins herds a school of fish into shallow water and the beach; OUR beach. Pelicans and frigate birds dive into the mele.

After our first four days on the water, I finally remember to raise the rudder before beaching the kayak.

I come to enjoy the salty tang in my first cup of coffee, after last night's salt water dishwash. We carry all our fresh water with us to these arid islands.

This morning, dolphins swim under our boats when as are paddling to our final campsite. They swim straight to us and then dive.

My supply of ibuprofen looks to be just enough to get me through. 

Celia, one of our guides, is very sweet and decorates our library with beach treasures at each campsite.

Oh, the first days are the hardest days ...
