Yesterday, my brother and I took our parents kayaking. It was hot, but bearable on the water. They had a fun time going through the marshes and just getting out for a while.


Things got off to a shaky start when we got to the nearly-full sandbar for lunch and the paramedics arrived. A man felt light-headed (likely dehydrated) and couldn't drive his boat back. The tide was coming in and his family asked my dad and brother to help hold the boat while they sorted things out.


I love how quickly the camera turns on and I can capture those fleeting images.


We nestled into a quiet cove and everyone soaked up the sun. Dad has some great one-sided burn marks on his legs.


My bilge pump finally got used!


My brother was very proud of the dead crab he found.


There were occasionally some steering issues...
