About Me
- gpax
- Pensacola, FL, United States
- In April 2008 I coached my last game after 14 years as a high school coach. My wife, Chris, and I bought kayaks. We started kayaking Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key and Big Lagoon State Park. When jelly fish moved in, we moved up the creeks and rivers of Northwest Florida. There we met members of the West Florida Canoe and Kayak Club and joined. Over the course of our first year we have paddled at locations from the Styx River in Alabama down to Sanibel Island in South Florida and swam with the manatees in Crystal River. I began taking kayaking photos and posting them, along with trip reports, regularly on Green Wave Forum. During the winter of 2009 I took a photography class and won a drawing at NikonUSA for a new D90 camera. My 1970's photography passion was rekindled. In one year we have filled our garage with two Hobie mirage pedal drive kayaks [mine with sail], a Wilderness Tarpon 120, a Heritage Redfish 14 and a Kestrel 160 sea kayak. Football injured knees of my youth haunt me. After five surgeries, I gave up running and hiking as well as long distance bicycling. Now I swim and paddle.
