Kayaking over a 120' waterfall Worse than this. Phil Berry / istock photo When the word "extreme" starts being applied to energy drinks and home makeovers you know that it's past overused. It should be thrown away. But what other word is there for a kayaker who paddles over a 120' waterfall? Photographer Lucas Gilman shot some great photos of professional kayaker Bill Keller plunging down the La Paz waterfall in Costa Rica. 'Every time a kayaker goes over a waterfall of more than 40ft, there is a good chance of injury and even death,' says Gilman.  Here's a story with some great images of extreme kayaking from the UK Daily Mail.

Cape Cod seal watchers see shark attack Staying ashore today. Last Friday a seal watch cruise from Harwich Port with Captain John Littlefield was on the scene when a large shark attacked a seal on the ocean side of Monomoy Island. Littlefield thinks the seal was between 300 to 400 pounds and that the shark was 14-16'. According to KC Myers Captain Littlefield said, "It was a bloody mess...I don't think I want to be a surfer going out there with a wetsuit." A large colony of seals lives on Monomoy and seals have been recently inhabiting portions of Chatham Harbor. There have been several reports and sightings of sharks attacking seals during the past few years from Nauset Beach to Monomoy. With all of that in mind I went surfing this morning at Nauset Beach and saw nothing of concern. Tomorrow I'll be sailing around Monomoy directly through the area of the mealtime incident and will report on what I see. You can learn more about sharks here.
