Learning the Eskimo Roll in Monterey Harbor

Another perfect Winter day in Monterey. Temperature was in the mid 60's with light winds and clear skies so we decided to head for the Harbor on the way back from errands in Monterey.
We came across this guy learning the Eskimo Kayak Roll with an instructor - good thing the instructor was there! The sequence tells the story. We also got some good cormorant shots which are on the Wildlife Blog.

This sequence was just over 6 seconds. Makes you pause to think about just how fast you can get into trouble in a kayak. Best place it learn is a place where you can stand up if you get into trouble.

I'm really liking the new Nikon D7000. 

Here we are, getting ready for the next dunking.



Going over

Under
The Rescue, where's the paddle?
Back up!  Whew!, Glad that's over!
You have to admire real "true grit" to even attempt this. What a guy!

And some nice color from Fisherman's wharf.
