Kayaking at Deep Cove

This was a little while ago now, but Steph organized for a whole bunch of us to rent kayaks at Deep Cove for an afternoon. We had a mixture of one and two-person kayaks which we rented for three hours. It was a little nerve-wracking for me, as I am not much of a swimmer. I'd prepared for it beforehand by spending some time in the pool in our apartment building. It wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated - the kayak seemed very stable, and the water at Deep Cove is super-calm so I felt safe most of the time (except when a wave came over the front of our kayak!)

We paddled out to a little island (it might have been called Raccoon Island - not sure.) The island was kind of interesting because it was only a single island with a beach at low tide. At high tide it was two small islands with water between. Anyway, we got out of our kayaks and stopped for cake, before paddling all the way back. It was tiring but great fun. Hopefully we will do it again soon, and perhaps next time we might do a whole day.

You can find a few photos here. They were taken by our friend Woody who was the only person with a real camera there. We took some photos on a disposable waterproof camera, but we'll have to wait until we use up the film before you can see the results.
