That time I went kayaking in the Atlantic Ocean. When I went out east in 2015, I hauled my kayak with me. This was the first time kayaking in salt water. The buoyancy difference from fresh to saltwater is amazing! I felt a hundred pounds lighter! This is off the coast of Maine. For awhile it looked like the sailboat was going to run into the lighthouse, but it went behind the lighthouse island.

Yesterday, I found a rock.

Or more precisely, the keel of the sailboat I was helming found a rock.

It happened when returning from a nice afternoon sail... about 40' from our slip. So, we were going slow, it was super low tide, and I just happened to bumble into it - my first time docking at the new marina.

We got stuck. Marina staff were able to bring a boat around and kedge us free using the halyard.

An interesting experience.

Shout out to the great staff at Pedder Bay!
