A fun interpretation, I like the colours in the first one. The ships are so massive it makes you kayakers look extremely vulnerable. More bravery from you & Johna!

Fortunately, all these ships were sleeping… :-)

Interesting looking tug, I guess with ships getting bigger they need to be able to see over them.

Many tugs in New York Harbor are like that, with high stacked towers—even then, they have pretty poor visibility over the big barge they may be pushing in front of them. We have to allow for that…

perfect!…but, would be a little intimidating for me!

After a while, you would get used to it… :-)

I like the colors, but the angle of the shoe makes the contrast seem even greater – lovely.

The angle comes naturally—we are always at water level :-)
