Sunday morning paddle in the warm Queensland winter sun... then suddenly got bumpy.
A fun outing with just 12 knots of wind.
Flat Earth sail with Northern Light Greenland paddle.

Awesome photo! Isn't it hard to maneuver the kajak with the sail in those waves?
ReplyDeleteFrode, I had a bit of trouble there where the waves were smashing together from different directions and I had to brace to stay upright. In most cases the sail seems to add stability for me; it acts like a big fin in the wind keeping my kayak more stable than without.
DeleteRough picture!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit bumpy. I lost one camera that day trying to get the images I wanted... :-(
DeleteYou did....You do the most to get a good picture! :)))) And this picture is really good!!
DeleteTake care U:))
Sorry about your camera, I still think this image is awesome. Just wondering, is it hard to roll with the sail if you have bad luck and flip around? Or does it collapse and make no difference?
ReplyDeleteThe camera can be replaced and luckily I didn't loose the best imagery.
DeleteI am not very good at rolling with a sail when the wind is blowing but I have successfully rolled in calmer conditions.
If one has the presence of mind and does not panic, the mast can be collapsed with just a flick of the rope (release the uphaul from the cleat) to then allow a scull back up.
Yeah, easier said then done when it's windy and bumpy... :-)
This image inspires me, thanks for sharing!!!
