Deception Pass Dash

The 3rd Annual Deception Pass Dash was a spectacular race filled with a variety of racers at different levels, winds, waves and swells. The Ramblin Lamb Photo team was in full force, bringing in support from another colleage. In all, we have 23 G of images to sort through. We are processing now and will submit to our colleagues and customers asap.
Rick was staged on the bridge over the pass, Sean Watson was staged on the point, and they captured the most shots. For me, it was quite a different ride. I was out on the safety boat riding the waves with the rescue patrol. I shot less than 3 G, but had a hell of a great time. Rocking and rolling over some 8 ft swells generated some hoots and hollers from those in our boat. It was hard to shoot, but we got them what they wanted. I captured the start up shot of over 140 kayakers lined up to race! I captured a couple surfing some whirling waves. I captured a few hard working paddlers. And I captured Bucky trying his galant hand at a surf ski in rough chop after we rescued the owner of the surf ski. That proves to me that I have no real interest in that type of kayak.

It's so much fun to do stuff we love. I haven't had so much fun in what feels like years. I can't wait until next year's event.
