Hi - Friends and Family; welcome to my smugmug site. I was born in Italy (Latisana; Friuli-Venezia- Giulia), raised in Northwestern Ontario (ThunderBay), and have called Halifax home for the last 20+ years. As you'll be able to tell from the photos I do spend as much time as I can on the water. Aside from kayaking I'm starting to develop an interest in photography as well - so keep coming back to see what else I've been capturing on the memory card. Cheers/Ciao Sergio http://kayakhfx.smugmug.com/Kayaking/Surfing/Clam-Harbour-August-2005/P8280032/33860318_yvNYk-300x300.jpg http://kayakhfx.smugmug.com/ 2009-11-04T10:10:05Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
