A photo story

An evening paddle near Port Crescent

I was out in a blue kayak on the Strait of Juan de Fuca near Port Crescent, on the Olympic Peninsula, in April 2023. I took a selfie from the boat, in a life vest, with the overcast water stretching out behind me and the light going on the horizon. It was evening, just after sunset, around 41, with a breeze around 9 miles an hour.

The sky was heavy with cloud, and the water had a light ripple on it. Two days earlier I had been on Crescent Beach, along this same stretch of the strait.
