Winter Kayaker/ Watery Wednesday

 Kayaker entering Whitby Harbour

Not everyone puts their kayak away and hangs up their paddles for the winter months.  This hardy kayaker must believe in the proverb "There is no bad weather, only the wrong gear."

 A closer look

Passing me where I stood on the pier

I am linking to Watery Wednesday where you can find many more watery photos.

  1. He looks so small in all of that water. Scary to me. It sure looks cold!

  3. Boy, he is definitely much more hardy than me! The first photo really makes the story of the big, big open water and the little, little frail guy out in it.

  5. Great capture!

    Reminds me of winter dives... as in scuba dives in icy waters.

  7. He sure looks dressed for it. I bet it's peaceful being the only one out there.

  8. He is indeed a brave soul; perhaps a bit foolhardy too. I particularly like the last photo. His choice of color if his apparel is wise since it can be seen from afar in an emergency.

    Love the Family Day photos, too!

    Cheers from Cottage Country East!

  14. This guy is much more hardy than I am -- and, I'm guessing, much younger!

  15. Fascinating series which proves my theory that some Ontarions are just plain nuts!

    ReplyDelete
  16. and some Ontarians are just full of adventure. I would not be one of them, though.

  18. That takes a very hearty (or fool hearty) soul! I'll go with the former nor the latter... love your shots!

  19. No way you'd get me in that thing. That is really cold water!

  20. This looks like a very cold hobby. I can think of other things that would be more fun, even though I do like kayaking in warm weather.

  21. Wonderful captures. Thanks for stopping by my blog from time to time.

  22. Not sure I would want to be out this time of year. In the first couple of shots it is so choppy you can barely see the kayak. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

  23. very brave man, I am not, I just sit on my couch and comment what a silly man. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  24. This guy seems all rugged up to face the watery chills! Great shots of a special thrill seeker!

  25. The main thing is he looks like he's enjoying himself!
