I met my Guerneville elementary school reunion people down at the Jenner boat ramp at 11:30 this morning for a paddle. We put our boats in the water and headed across the river to Penny Island and then headed down towards the ocean at a slow pace.
Here we are crossing over to Penny Island.
Pelicans
There were some brown pelicans there that we paddled by.
Nice day
The wind was down as we headed to the mouth area. The water was real blue as the salty ocean water was coming into the river because it was high tide.
We stopped here to get a group picture.
End of the river
The ocean was real rough as we paddled by all these birds headed to the end of the river to the right.
Checking out the ocean
The group wanted to land in the sand and take a look at the Pacific ocean so we landed and had a look.
Here we are checking out the ocean.
Lunch time
Rob wanted lunch so he sat down and had it while the rest of us shot the bull.
We put our boats back in the water and headed back up the river.
Going by this group of brown pelicans.
I’m following Rob and we are headed to the right of all those birds on the end of the island and we are headed up the back channel.
It was a great day
We made it back to the boat ramp where we all agreed it was a great day on the river.
They went to their rental house and I went home for a rest.
Evening chit chat
Later in the evening I joined the group at the rental house where we all had a good time chatting.
When it got dark we adjourned to the house and chatted some more.
Eventually they went to bed after a busy day and I went on home.
Thanks you for the post about our Guerneville group, nice to see the faces! Looks like a good time. Happy Trails Bob!

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
Thanks you for the post about our Guerneville group, nice to see the faces! Looks like a good time. Happy Trails Bob!
