If you look hard enough you may well spot a copy of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins under the forward deck elastic. Shortly after this was taken I pitched it over board hoping for a visual catharsis to end the angst this book had caused me. Alas, no Kraken emerged from the deep to swallow the book and no maelstrom took it under either. Instead it bobbed about on the surface looking small, silly and insignificant. A quick prayer for Prof. Dawkins and some laughter and we paddled on.the Boat by the way is a Sea Tech Rockhopper RH430, a fantastic, stable boat that is impossible to paddle in a straight line without the skeg down.
