Ever carried a kayak 200 yards by yourself? How about two? This whole "I'm pregnant" thing is really working out for Melissa. This is the dock that we launched from.
The Coos Bay sloughs are very calm in the mornings allowing for some pretty awesome photo opportunities. I think that the reflection in the water is one of my favorite things about kayaking.
Paddling though the Estuary Reserve was pretty spectacular. It was so quiet you could almost hear the silence. Occasionally a water foul, and there were many different breeds, would take off and start squawking and the sound would carry and echo for quite a ways.
The banks of the South Slough are lined with trees making for a beautiful paddling location. This tree stood out because of how distinctly red it was.
The South Slough Reserve walking trails come down to the water even though you can't really see it in this picture I promise it is there. It is a cool picture anyway. So I am not a professional photographer, give me a break.
I think that this is the best photo of the paddle. I don't see why more people aren't into kayaking when there are things like this to see.
Here I am in my Avocet after lunch. Time to go back. This is, so far, the high light of the trip. If you find yourself in Coos Bay with a kayak or not the South Slough is a definite must see.
