Photos of Newfoundland and Michigan Monday, June 20, 2005

You can now see some new photos from Justine and Alun's recent trip to Newfoundland and the Great Lakes, just click on the galleries page. Justine was guest speaker at 2 symposiums which were great fun, and we also did some good kayaking and filming in each location. There will be features on Newfoundland and a trip to the Manitou Islands on lake Michigan in the sequel to 'This is the Sea' (due out this Fall). There will also be a feature on the Grenland-style paddler Doug Van Dorren who shows that the Greenland-style blade can be used effectively for touring and in rough conditions. I have some lovely shots of him rolling with a camera mounted on his kayak and you can see the motion of his body and blade under the water really clearly.
