Kayaking

​Various kayaking and canoeing missions took place, once out of Port Moody and into Indian Arm with distant relatives Michael and Brandon, once down the Aluette River where Michael got a little wet:

We also did a canoeing mission up Indian Arm for Brandons Birthday. Jake (one of his cousins) and Bryn (Brandons girlfriend) came too so we had to get two canoes on the top of one car which was fun. It seemed to work OK:

We set up camp for the night on Twins Island where we ate, drank and sang a few songs (I took my guitar) with some other random camp goers on the dock:

We also caught and ate some crabs:

which were damn tasty. At about midnight someone mentioned that there was bioluminescent dudes in the water. Splashing the water with ores and stones inevitably led to a midnight swim which was pretty amazing. When someone jumped in the water there was a big green plume of water and when you moved your hands around in the water trails of green dots were left behind. It was pretty warm too. A cool experience. After we got back to civilization we had a BBQ at Brandons parents place where I ate delicious Salmon. Yum.

A couple of weekends later we also went for a paddle and a hike up Widgen creek. Brandon got a roof rack for his birthday which we trailed for the first time. It looked pretty hilarious but seemed to work OK:

Jake and Brandon thought I was an idiot for taking this photo:

Up the creek it looked pretty similar to the Pelorus:

After the creek hike we went to Bryns parents place where I was fed delicious salmon and steak for dinner. I was even sent home with a massive red cross parcel full of more salmon and more steak. I am doing pretty damned well out of these distant cousins! More yum.
