: My youngest daughter decided to take the summer off dance so we get
: to explore again. After a day of yard work we pulled out a pygmy
: tern 14 and a waters dancing solace we have not used in a long
: time and paddled a shallow 3" to 24" estuary (just
: north of the Great Salt Lake and south of the Bear River Bird
: Refuge) for the evening. We saw a lot of birds, enjoyed 60
: degree temps. with a light breeze, and enjoyed the wood kayaks
: instead of the glass ones we have been paddling. It doesn't get
: much better. We decided the boats are going in the garage for a
: fast sanding and refinishing.

Wow. That's an amazing photo. I'm looking forward to getting my Guillemot finished, and getting pictures like yours here in NZ. Thanks for the inspiration.

Regards, Ian
