Newport Bay Conservancy volunteers returning from the last king tide cleanup of the season.

Took advantage of todays 6.8 high tide giving access to clean otherwise inaccessible areas of the UNBR marsh. Sit on tops do have areas where they excel.

Scouting for endangered plants gave access to the closed section of the nature reserve. Light rain and cloud cover made for a pleasant work day. Sit on tops worked well getting on and off islands in the marsh. If only every commute was like this.

Had a favorable tide and good weather taking in the sights at what may be California's premier estuary.

Lahn is perfect for kayaking. Well maintained infrastructure, amateur friendly and god those views are amazing.

Unfortunately our initial 2-day-trip plan converted into one day due to weather collapse but was still fun.

Had the Upper Newport Bay Nature Reserve to myself for an hour yesterday, well me and the wildlife. Near perfect conditions too. Some days you're just lucky.

Back in the early days of learning to surf sea kayaks, we loved to help launch :)

I didn't post much on Reddit over the last few years, but I figure I ought to contribute to the communities I want to see thrive. My friend and I took our kayaks out last week and saw a bunch of beautiful sights, including egrets and great blue herons. Here's a landscape shot.

With the coming (ongoing) exodus from reddit following their June 2023 API policy impacting 3rd party apps, it seemed prudent to fire up a Lemmy home for paddlers of all sorts.
