Three islands on the horizonThere are three islands in Conception Bay. On October17th we had a clear sunny day to do a kayaking tour of the three islands. We first visited Little Bell Island (center), then to Bell Island (left) and then Kelly's Island (right).
Here are a few previously unpublished pictures from that memorable day.
Leaving Little Bell Island We stepped out of our kayaks on Little Bell Island as if to tag first base on the first island visited.
Announcing our arrival at Bell Island Arriving at Bell Island we looked for a suitable beach to land and have lunch.
Rocky outcrop A rocky outcrop showing the bedding in the sedimentary rocks of Bell Island overlooks our lunch beach.
Departing Bell Island Our bellies full after lunch on Bell Island we made for our third stop of the day.
Green waters of Kelly's Island Having left Bell Island we arrived at the third island for the day. It was the jump in our hop - skip - jump paddle.
Making our way back to Topsail Leaving Kelly's Island we made a straight line crossing back to Topsail Beach where we launched from earlier in the day.
It was a paddle of four crossings to visit three islands on calm waters. It was something I've had in the back of my mind for some time and because we pulled it off on that day its my 9th top paddle of 2010.
More pictures of the paddle can be seen in my "Three island hop" blog entry from October 17th.
