Just another lazy summer day…

A quiet rainy morning at the beach…

Still raining…and still quiet…

Mr. Sun has arrived! but still pretty quiet.
I kayak almost every Friday morning before school with the university canoe/kayak club.
Here is a picture that was taken in April. Mount Fuji is actually in the background but you can’t see it. Oh well…

As you can see, I’m in a river kayak. To be honest, I don’t really like river kayaks. I prefer sea kayaks because they seem to be faster and easier to control.

A little bit better than yesterday, but not much better. I debated going to Katahama because of the slight wind. Some of the weekday locals were also thinking that too. A few phone calls were made and we decided to stay.
As the tide changed, the waves got better…much better actually.
Here are a few pictures I took during a break around 8:30:


A few of the local longboarders showing how to ride these smaller waves.
Not exactly a good day for surfing…

I think that I can count with my fingers how many waves I caught today…
When I was in the parking lot talking, I noticed these two ducks in a large puddle in the middle of the parking lot.

As you can see, they didn’t like having their picture taken and flew away.
Not a good day for surfing – heavy rain with a bit of thunder and lightning mixed in. Apparently, it was good for fishing though…

It’s a little bit blurry because of the rain, but all of the spots on the horizon are fishing boats!!
