Sea Kayak Committee Report – Fall, 2018

A Short Story in Pictures:
Believe it or not, the pictures here were taken by James Chang on his iPhone 10 during our, Autumn Leaves Paddle to Four Sparrows Marsh.

But the water was warm, the tide was high at the marsh, and the lighting was obviously perfect for picture taking.
