ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Here's how some folks spent their morning on the Saturday before Turkey Day...competing in the Pilgrim Paddle, a kayak race on the Halifax River. The stats at the 9am start: 60-degrees air temp with the water about the same and headed directly into a 15mph headwind. Competition is in the air where we live as the history marker below attests to. This marker and three others are located at the Ormond Beach approach where the racers first entered onto the sand. The competition on the sands of Ormond and Daytona beach spawned another famous entity - - Daytona International Speedway, known as The World Center of Racing.
There are times when packing up and heading out with our SLRs is a bit much. These pics were taken with a Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS. I resisted the point-and-shoot for a long time, but the quality of the photos (8 megapixels) and the ease of having something small to stick in your pocket finally got to me. Lydia's Canon PowerShot S500 (5 megapixels) served her well for the past four summers and, when it finally broke down, she got the SD1100 IS as a replacement. I soon followed suit.
