It seems like the 10-minute loading zone at Eckley pier is popular with people who can't tell time, but maybe they are just so baffled by the twin concepts of "10-minute parking" and "loading zone" that they can't cope - the driver of the car in the picture was so confused that he wasn't able to navigate between the parallel white lines, and apparently wasn't able to find the car again once he had left it.
There's usually a place to park in spite of all that.

| New camera bag. |
The (supposedly) waterproof camera bag that I've been using keeps the camera dry in the kayak, but water on the bag over the camera's lens messes up the photos, and there's never anything dry to wipe the water off with.
The new (actually old, but unused) Aquapak waterproof camera bag has a lens cap thingy, so that the part of the bag that covers the lens isn't constantly wet - if you remember to snap it completely shut after each time you use it, and you don't drop the camera in the water, and the camera doesn't get splashed when you're taking a shot; you also have to remember to hold the cover back against the front of the bag.

The best way to shoot from the kayak, it turns out, is to take the camera out of the bag when it's safe to do so, and put it back in when it's not. This is at least as much a pain in the keister as shooting with the camera in the bag, but the images tend to be better this way.
