Snake in the grass

Laying low in the grass

Last Saturday Dean and I put in alongside the road in a patch of grass at Salmonier Arm. It was an unusual put-in because we usually put in on a beach or slipway. It was worth a picture because the boat looked a bit like a predator laying in the grass. A predator with a bloody nose.

A bloody nose caused by a few too many bumps into rocks. I remember the first ding, I cringed. I've now accepted that these things are bound to happen when trying to get into tight places. Not that I've become reckless but a kayak is meant to be used.
