Friday was an ideal day for sea kayaking in Stonington. We were down at
Old Quarry Ocean Adventures shortly after 8AM, and finished well before the afternoon thunder showers.
But I really don't have a story from the day, just some lovely pictures.

The pics tell the story! It was a great day on the water. The Stonington archipelago is so awesome. My fav pic is the one of Mark photo-bombing the rocks :) Cheers from Canada.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous! I'm curious what kind if camera you use. Looking for a waterproof cam.
ReplyDeleteWe use Olympus Stylus Toughwaterproof cameras attached to our lifejackets. I have the 8000 which is probably 5 years old, and Mark's is the Olympus TG-1 which was new in 2012. Both have held up well to use, they're very carefree and fit easily into a pocket.
DeleteThanks. I just picked up a Panasonic Lumix. Not sure I love the photo quality, but it'll do! Very nice photos here.
ReplyDeleteAnd lovely photos on your blog, An Ocean Lover in Maine, as well!
