Bloopers in the Surf of Stone Harbor, New Jersey

 My son's friend's first attempt at ocean kayaking...

and look at that wave ahead of him. 

My son takes a spill too. 

And of course, my husband...I love the feet in the air. 

Water up the nose no doubt. 

 My husband's cousin....oops.

 The girlfriends take a spill and are assisted by a cute surfer dude 

while the boyfriends watched helplessly from shore. 

That will teach the guys a thing or two. 

We had a great week 

and so much fun with the kayaks, 

especially when the dolphins swam by.

Whitewater on the Tohickon Creek 2013

Oh where, oh where is spring? 

 

After all, there was a spring dam release 

into the Tohickon Creek this past weekend.



Instead of spring like weather,
it was about 30 degrees with snow flurries.



And these crazy paddlers were in the cold water!



Some even had bare hands.



How they kept a grip on the paddle is beyond me!



Only my toes got wet
and I was sure I had frost bite!



My husband says I am crazy for sitting on the rocks
for 4 hrs. taking photos.



Clearly...he has not yet met crazy.



Compared to these people...
I am perfectly sane.
