Last Day of Kayak Camp 2021

Last Day of Kayak Camp
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00933

Today was the last day of KayakCamp for the kids. They have had so much fun. Eva has tried three different things. She had a small Kiwi kayak for the first day and on day two Justine suggested that they bring Eva a better kayak because she had good control. Today Eva did a stand up paddle board and she loved it. She and Andy both enjoyed stand up paddle boarding more than kayaking. It is great that they had the chance to try them out.

I did bring my drone with me today. I ended up with getting some good footage and had the memory card as well so that I could record things properly. I did a decent job of flying the drone and filming. I made a mistake in landing and dumped the drone into the sand. I am hoping that with some compressed air there won’t be too much lasting damage.

After Kayak Camp we took the kids to Science School. Allison and I walked around Woods Hole. We had our lunch by Garbage Beach and there was a cool old rowboat there.

We continued walking around the town and stopped at a small chapel for some shade. I shot a panorama of the inner harbor of Woods Hole.

Tonight we had our cook out and enjoyed some great burgers and dogs. It was only fitting as it was National Hot Dog Day.

Today was the second day of Kayak Camp for the kids and today I brought my drone. However, the memory card was not in it so I was not able to capture anything substantial and the images were of low quality. I also have to replace some of the rotors that had gotten chewed up by a tree on a previous flight. I kept getting messages that the rotors were going too fast or something like that. I did not get that message back on the 4th of July. The image below was taken with the drone but sent to my phone it is of lower quality but it does capture the kids looking at the camera and the other kids in their class looking away.

Tonight we had dinner on the beach. My friend Stephanie was supposed to come over for dinner and we were going to do a cook out but plans got changed around a bit and instead we did pizza on the beach thanks to Auntie Tara. We also got the yearly photo of the kids in the Lifeguard chair. They’ve gotten much bigger and so they don’t all fit seated together.
