Yesterday, I had the opportunity to bake bread with a novice baker, and I was surprised by how much it taught me about kayaking. In particular, it showed me how respecting imprecision can demonstrate mastery rather than uncertainty.

Today I led my first solo morning trip, and it was lovely. Wildlife was really out in force, including two humpback whale flukes plus lots of sea lions. On this trip, we had two launches and two landings. Most of those went well, but one went off the rails a bit. In the end it was fine, but it really drove home one point: rudders and communication need to go hand in hand.
