Kayaking as mental health; come and escape with me as I give up the search for meaning and self. Be sad and be happy with me. Help one another.

#MosquitoLagoon #NewSmyrnaBeach paddled along wildlife preserves as well as the intercoastal waterway. Found a trash can out in the mangroves.

Well, the falls are low today, but they were higher a week ago. Nice picture regardless and featuring my partner @tippy3880.bsky.social

Easy 7 mile paddle on the Columbus loop in #ColumbusTx

Tested out a new racing canoe paddle, it was a stress free day of learning to paddle with it.

#StubblefieldRecreationArea this is the northern most point of #LakeConroe in #TX; we #paddled in a mixture of #SUP and #Kayak through a scenic wetland NW of Houston.

It's nice having such a beautiful place in #nature so close to Houston.

When you #kayak in #Texas in #nature; visited the east side of #LakeLivingston and #paddled my way up to the Rocky Creek Falls ( apparently the only waterfall within 100 miles of Houston ).

It is spectacular.

Myself and 11 other #paddling instructors took 40 parent/child teams down 6 miles of class 1 and 2 whitewater in #kayaks two days in a row; it was a blast.

Broke in the #wenonah #canoe and received a proper #brazosriver baptizing. It's an easy 15 mile stretch in Waller County TX.

Jugs worked great, the boat is so light the wind pushes me around, and torrential rain unsurprisingly fills the canoe.l quite quickly.

Rare 1980s Cadillac Limousine.

I've paddled by this thing for years. Not sure what it's story is.

Rigging up some jugs by attaching drinking syphons to them; they sit inside a closed cell foam block glued to the bottom of the #canoe. Pretty easy modification, might do the same for a smaller Nalgene bottle when I #kayak a smaller boat. Parts were cheap; 1/4" tubing, some barb fittings, etc.

#coloradoriver between Smithville Tx and Plum Park. 17 mile stretch; hot day, but good time on the water.

I've finally brought a #Wenonah into my fleet; I can't wait to figure this boat out. Should I double blade or single blade?

#kayak @justingosses.github.io and I took a look at #BuffaloBayou in #KatyTx but inside #georgebushpark, flat, tiny alligators, pretty healthy looking. Could use a cleaning organization.

#Sculling is therapeutic; it's also radically changed my edging in a #kayak. Over the past few weeks I've revisited some of my older kayaks or ones I pass over, now that I feel more secure heavily edging, to really get a feel for how it works in all of my vessels.

#kayak

I make yearly trips to a gaming con called #Gencon; this year I brought my #whitewater & #kayaking instructor gear to wear during a session of #werewolf. Not sure what I expected; I use werewolf to experiment w/social masks, but in the moment I felt deeply secure in my being.

#Burgessfalls #kayak #cumberlandriver more shots from the paddle up to Burgess Falls, pretty and miserably flat.
August 6, 2025 at 10:48 AM
#BurgessFalls #kayak paddled up to the falls and played a little, there's a tiny tiny feature just below the falls.

Flynn's Creek Crater ( Edge of an ancient impact crater )

Theres some debate as to whether this is an impact crater or some other feature, this is near Nameless Tennessee.

#KAYAK on the #CumberlandRiver in #TN

Lazy paddle, flat water, but beautiful. Taught @tippy3880.bsky.social how to scull and she was doing it instantly left or right handed.

Paddled out to the USS Sachem, off the #ohioriver, tucked inside a creek. Beautiful and surreal, it can only be reached when the water is higher.

Driving up to Indianapolis and stopping to #kayak in various places and have dumb adventures.
