A week kayaking in Palawan, Part 2

What makes a trip? The scenery, the weather, of course. But gorgeous scenery abound. At the end of the day though, it's the fuzzy, warm feeling that you get when you look back. Feelings borne from the company we keep. There's TS, a grandfather of four, but more fit and strong than I could ever …

Birthday Sunrise Paddle

We joined Sydney by Kayak for a sunrise paddle today. It's been months since we went out with Laura; it was still summer the last time we did so, for kayak netball. She's gotten brand new kayaks now, all bold and cheerful colors, with cut-out glass bottoms and coffee holders! Not much cloud cover - …

Short Getaway to Hamilton Island

We were looking forward to breaking out our skis for a weekend in Queenstown, New Zealand, but couldn't quite justify the cost for a short trip. So instead we looked northwards, to Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, where we could go snorkeling in the midst of winter without fear of jellyfish stings. Great long weekend …

Full moon weekend in Kiama

We were supposed to go camping in Kiama a couple of weeks ago with a bunch of friends. It was a new-moon weekend, perfect for astrophotography. Alas, I caught a cold at the last minute, so Jeff and I regrettably had to drop out. From the pictures, everyone else looked like they had a blast, …

Weekend in Batemans Bay

My mum came to visit, so we went for a long weekend down in Batemans Bay. It's a gorgeous location - very chill, much more low key than Jervis Bay, an hour to the north. We got an AirBnB down by Surf Beach, where we went to one morning to catch the sunrise. The storm …

How is it winter already?

2017 is zooming us by. I can't believe it's just a few days more before winter arrives in the Southern hemisphere. Looking at the number of photographs I've taken so far this year, my output has fallen quite a bit. Indeed, I haven't felt that driven to go out for sunrise shoots, or just shoots …

Checking off our first open water swims

At the end of last year, we resolved that we would try an open water swim in Sydney. The 1.5km Manly to Shelly (and back) swim seemed like the easiest bet. Last weekend seemed a good time to check off that bucket list. Winter is fast approaching; already, the water temperature is a fresh 20 Celsius. …

Kayaking and Camping: Bay of Islands New Zealand

We didn't know if we could actually go ahead with kayaking and camping overnight on Urupukapuka Island in the Bay of Islands until a day and a half before - and after we had flown into Auckland, New Zealand. We packed our tent and sleeping bags anyway, and let customs run the tent under their …
