Sea Kayaking with Stan Cook


Scott and I had the priviledge to go sea kayaking with Stan Cook's group. Our guide was both knowledgable and passionate about everything we explored. We paddled about 8km around Cape Broyle.
Lots of wildlife. The "Dog 1" was actually all over the news the day before; the rescued a poor stuck dog while out on the kayaks.
Stan Cook manning the boat that towed us back. This man is a legend. Stan and his lovely wife Nancy invited us back to their place where we snacked and chatted all night. A huge highlight of our stay on the rock.
Beautiful geology.
Scott and a waterfall. Awesome description.
These two ladies were from Saskatchewan. One of them moved to St. John's for no particular reason... just "because."
The teeth of a sea urchin. Looks like predator's baby or something.
A sea urchin. Our awesome guide, Connor, sliced a live one right open in front of us, and we ate it. The stuff sells for 40$ per ounce for sushi. But the newfies call these abundant, annoying bottom dwellers "whore's eggs."
