saturday morning kayak to vashon island

nothing wakes you up like a early morning kayak!



we set out to kayak over to vashon island from our little neighborhood-puget sound-side park; seahurst park.


here is the pattern that we laid out, and what we kayaked. in all, it was about8.5 miles of beautiful puget sound!


what an absolute majestic view of mt rainier. when you're at water level, it looks massive!


brooke enjoyed watching the ferries in the distance.


we also got to see a seal and "baby orca whales." [note: we actually couldn't see what they were, although they were jumping in the distance and looked like baby orca whales, we can not confirm this].


safely back on shore. what a great paddle! next time i think we'll head out to blake island, which is a little further. maybe we'll over night!
