P&H Custom Sea Kayaks Blog

Managed to squeeze a in trip to Maine while I was on the East Coast. John Carmody was gracious enough to host (again).

Woke up Thursday to the sound of rain. After a leisurely breakfast, John drove Fiona Cousins and me to Ocean Point where unloaded and geared up. The rain let up as we launched and headed towards Thrumcap Island. A bit of swell was bouncing nicely off the Eastern side of the island

After a bite to eat on the island we headed back up the Eastern side of Thrumcap to the Thread of Life Islands. Hard to pass up the swell and the rocks.

After a bit more playing we headed back to Ocean Point as the skies cleared and the sun came out.

After a great evening celebrating Saint Hans (a traditional midsummer celebration in Scandinavia) with friends at Tårbæk, I paddled home together with Susanne, a great friend & paddle partner of many trips over the last few years. We enjoyed the most wonderfull sky & the pungent smell of woodsmoke coming from the many fires along the coast…..

It was around 23:30 that these images were shot, the sea at times appeared like molten glass, reflecting the colours of the sunset and the darkness of the cool water…

It was a really very short paddle, but it was definitly one of those very special events that makes paddling on the sea a real privelage…….
