Cresting the swell
as drops from the paddle blade
draw spirals and knotwork
where sea herd’s shoulders
force through the narrows
and turbulence and overfalls
ferment the sea
which bubbles and fizzes
Canoeing on champagne
with fish leaping up from it,
gulls planing down
in a white double helix for fry,
I ride the flood,
past the Priest’s Nose
and into the Bay!

here's one about sea canoeing.. which I do in an open canadian with a single bladed paddle: one of the most wonderful and exciting things know.. you feel so incredibly in touch with the environment! I hope this evokes that experiance!
