Here I am. This is a new look for me since I really only did a little bit of Kayaking before I met David. I'm standing at the edge of the pea pod rocks. We'd seen a giant Stellar Sea Lion arching and poking his head toward the sky. It was amazing. And will kayaking past, we also so geese, gulls, and harbor seals. The seals followed us for some time, snorting air when they came up from under the water. So much fun.
David is in the arctic right now, outside of Svalbard on a cruise ship. He's a naturalist and ornithologist. He takes people out on the ice and kayaking, etc. Here's part of an email he sent me.
"So, its 11:30 PM but, wanted to respond, tho after driving through the icefloe maze to get back to the ship (after very close view of Bearded Seal),am bushed. Alot of pushing off with paddle, got some guests and the Doc to help, as we were driving up and over gaps too narrow for the zod, pushing pan ice around and generally working to return to the ship... just barely got plucked out on the hook as the ice was all around the ship. We had an interesting time in the Boulder Garden in morning with a wet landing for some as we shoved back out after our hike up the glacier." Way more interesting than what I'm doing every day. Writing on a memoir, hanging at the beach.
Today, the 4th of July, mostly I'm going to play, but there'll probably be a little work involved, like cleaning and watering plants, etc. I just love fireworks and wish my honey was here to enjoy them with me. There will definitely be some when he returns.
Kisses,
Nan
