Egijima ngaseningizimu-ntshonalanga ogwini lwaseVancouver Island , i-Kayak yami iphuma emthonjeni wokuqala wegwala: Ngibona ibhere elimnyama ligijima ngaphansi kwelanga elishisayo. Ukushaya ubomvu bakhe nokushaya noma yikuphi lapho ama-paws akhe efika khona, angikhohlisi. Ilanga ukukhanga kwakhe okuyinhloko, isiphephelo sakhe, futhi uyangena kuwo. Njengoba ehlushwa imilenze yakhe ende, emisipha, uyashintsha umzimba wakhe ngesinye isibhakabhaka esibhakabhakeni esibhakabhakeni ngaphambi kokushabalalisa endaweni evulekile ebusweni.
Njengoba ehamba kancane kancane ehlathini eliqhumayo, ngivumelana nomzuzu owedlule owawuvele ngaphambi kwami. Owesibini uzizwa sengathi uhlala isikhathi eside ngesikhathi lapho uhamba ngokuzithoba kwesidalwa esikhulu endaweni enjalo yasendle.
ROW Highlights Adventures
Phakathi nokuhamba kwami kweviki eside nge-ROW Adventures, izikhathi ezinjengalezi ziba isimiso, kodwa azilahlekelwa yintsha yazo. Kuye ngesikhathi sonyaka, ngosuku olulindelekile olwandle, ungalindela ukubona amawundle, amaqhawe olwandle, izimpindi, mhlawumbe ngisho ne-orcas. Ngifuna izinzuzo ezifana nalezi, mina kanye neqembu labakwaKayakers sithatha ukudla okwenziwe usuku ngalunye ekuseni, sishiya ikamu lethu eliseKaiikash elincane ukuhlola usuku lwangaphakathi lweBrithani Columbia ngaphakathi.
Ngesikhathi sokuphuma ngakunye, kuyisimanga njalo lokho esizokubona. Esinye isifundo engifundile masinyane emanzini ukuthi ikhamera yami ihlale endaweni yokufinyelela ngokushesha, lapho ngingakwazi khona ukuphakamisa isikhwama esomile sizungeze isihlalo sami se-kayak ngokuphepha (futhi ngomile) ngifinyelele ikhamera yami ukuze ngithathe lezi zikhathi ezikhethekile kwifilimu .
Nakuba kungumlinganiso wezintatheli ngenkathi kuncike emanzini angcolile e-ocean ovulekile, kuwufanelekile ukugembula ukuthatha izithombe noma i-orcas ukuchitha phakathi kwamanzi ngaphakathi kwezinyawo zakho.
Ngesinye isikhathi, sesishiywe ngokuphelele njengoba i-pod ye-Doll's porpoise ifika ngesivinini ngaphansi kwe-kayaks yethu.
Ukuba nekhamera engaphansi kwami kubonisa ukuhamba okuhlakaniphile, ngoba ngiyakwazi ukuthatha ama-porpoises njengoba bephule emanzini. Kwamanye amaphuzu, kunesikhathi esiningi sokubamba izilwane zasendle ezungeze iBrithani Columbia. Njengoba thina kayak i-Walling Wall - yiziphi izindawo ezibiza ngokuthi idiza lokutshala i-rock - sihamba phakathi kwamadwala amakhulu olwandle afihliwe emanzini aphezulu futhi adalulwe emanzini aphansi. Njengoba sihamba ngezinyawo ezihamba olwandle olwandle, sibona izinkanyezi zasolwandle kabili ubukhulu bezandla zethu zibambelele ezindongeni. Kuwo wonke umbala ongacabangeka, banikeza ukukhanya okukhanyayo ngokumelene netshe elimnyama, isikhumba sabo esibomvu, esiluhlaza nesikhumba esibomvu esikhanyayo emanzini e-crystalline.
Ngolunye usuku ekuseni, sigibela ebhishi eliseduze eduze ne-Izumi Rocks. Uma sibhekene nomoya, sidlula i-bluff yedwala eliphansi ukuze sibone umhlambi wezinyoni ze-seagull ugijima emoyeni, uhlanganisa isibhakabhaka ngengubo emhlophe njengomlotha owile uhamba ngokushiya emlilweni. Uma sishaya umhlaba, siwudonsa izitsha zethu ogwini ngaphambi kokukhipha ilanga ntambama. Ukuphumula ikhanda lami ekukhungeni izihlahla futhi ngcwaba umzimba wami emkhatsini wamatshe athungathayo, ngiyahamba kule ndawo encane, ngibheke emagqumeni angama-volcanic awakhiwe cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi ezingu-65 edlule. Njengoba siqala ukudla, sizwa umsakazo wethu womhlahlandlela uya khona ukuthi i-pod ye-orcas eseduzane iseduze.
Silinde ngokukhathazeka ukubona izilwane ezincelisayo zasolwandle zingena ngaphakathi, futhi ukubekezela kwethu kunikezwa kahle njengenqwaba ye-orcas isuka endaweni. Sibona izidumbu zazo ezinama-slate ezibhoboza phansi futhi ezansi emanzini, ezivela esimisweni esivumelanisiwe nesimo samanje. Ngokungafani ne-orcas ehlala khona, ikakhulukazi egijima lawa manzi efuna i-saumon, idili le-orcas elidlulayo emapulazini amancane nezigxobo ezincane, okwenza ukuba besabe izidalwa eziningi ezibiza leli phepha ekhaya.
Ngaphambi kokuba sishiye ukudla kwethu kwasemini, ngiphakamisela ibluff ukuze ngiyindawo engcono kunazo zonke zesiqhingi. Amachibi amancane afaka emaphaketheni ayindilinga embhede wedwala, amanye ama-orange, amanye umbala we-caramel. I-surf ye-sea igxuma ngezansi, futhi konke engikubonayo kukhona i-jellyfish encane emanzini amnyama, njengemithi emihle yemisedari nemisedari.
Ngisakaze izingalo zami futhi ngivumele umoya uphumele emigodini yeminwe yami. Ngizizwa ngikhululekile. Ngosuku lwami lokugcina ekamelweni kanye ne-kayaking i-Inside Passage, futhi angisenandaba nokuthi izinwele zami ziyashesha kunokuba zijwayelekile, ukuthi izingubo zami ziphonswa ngezingxube zosawoti, ukuthi izinyawo zami zigijimela ngaphakathi kwebhoti lami. Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kuphakamisa ngokukhulu kunoma yisiphi isici sokungahambi kahle ukuthi umkhumbi noma umkhumbi ungase unikele. Ukuze ujabulele lezi zikhathi, kufanele uhlangabezane nemvelo lapho ukhona khona. Kufanele ungene kuyo yonke indlela.
Amathiphu Amafotho Wokubhala I-Inside Passage yase-British Columbia
I-kayaking idinga i-finesse ethile, futhi njalo kuhlale kuyingozi yokuguqula umkhumbi ngenkathi emanzini. Kodwa ngokufundiswa okuvela kumhlahlandlela, uzothola isigqi sakho masinyane. Kungakhathaliseki, kubalulekile ukupakisha isikhwama esomile ukugcina imishini yakho iphephile ngenkathi elwandle. I-kayak ngayinye ifakwe endaweni yokugcina ngaphambili, phakathi nendawo yangemva kwesihlalo sakho, ngakho uzokwazi ukufinyelela ngokushesha ikhamera yakho ukuze udwebe i-orca, i-humpback whale, kanye nokuphuma kwamanzi. Uma une-lens ende yokusondeza, yilethe. Nakuba i-kayak esiseduze kunazo zonke ungase ufike ezilwaneni zasendle zaseBrithani Columbia , uzothanda ukuba nethuba lokubamba lezi zidalwa ngendlela egcwele.
Uma unezindikimba ezimbili zekhamera, kungaba umqondo omuhle ukuletha kokubili. Lungisa i-lens yokulondoloza enwetshiwe emzimbeni owodwa wekhamera - njenge-Canon Lens ye-100m - 400mm - bese ulungisa ilensi evumelana nemifanekiso enhle enhle yezwe landscape - njenge-Canon Lens ye-24mm - 70mm. Lesi sinyathelo esingeziwe singasiza ekutholeni izithombe eziphezulu zekhwalithi, njengoba izilwane zihamba ngokushesha, futhi cishe ngeke ube nesikhathi sokuhamba ngokuphepha kwe-lens ngaphandle kokuba umzimba wakho uvezwe ngamaconfle amanzi aqhubekela ku-kayak yakho-ngisho nasezintweni ezithambile kakhulu izinsuku. Ukuba nalokhu okuhambisanayo kuzofika ngesikhathi esifanele ngenkathi kuthatha izilwane zasendle zaseBrithani Columbia .
