Kayak itch

It’s been a long time since last hitting the water and all of a sudden, there’s an itch to paddle again. It’s one of those times where you are fully alone, fully aware, of your boat, your surroundings, each and every stroke, every glide of the kayak, every measure of effort, every scoop of the paddle.
I never knew what paddling could bring to life, never thought to much about it either, what it could really give. Only the waters engulf you, and tell you that there is so much to living, so much to our earth. With unspoken insights, and revelations the waters bring.

Here are some pictures taken from last November/December’s expedition to Laos. I love how vast it is, how magical the world can once again become. More information on Huey’s http://kayakasia.org 

The night before my eventful capsize and swivel down an icy cold Xe Bang Fai that drowned a brand new D300 beyond repair, and the beautiful 14-24mm AFS FX lens, which was used to take the picture above. I’m just glad to be alive!
