Today's adventure was to York River and Smelt Brook in York, Maine. On this trip, we rode the incoming tide to see how far up each river or brook we could go. Kayaking past the grasses made for endless visual and audial entertainment on this lazy summer afternoon of a Labor Day weekend.
Today's adventure was to the Scarborough Marsh area in Scarborough, Maine. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many shorebirds, and resulted in the some of the closest encounters I've had with most of the species you'll see in the photography and video.
It all started with the goal of outfitting a motorized (electric) kayak that had to be solar powered, sustainable, quiet, and powerful. And the navigational control needed to be hands-free. And it needed one more very important thing.
