Kayaking

Robert finally got a kayak. We got a used one for a great deal.
Today we took a paddle together. His boat is not as streamlined as mine & it makes him have to work harder. He can't keep up with me
Zoie decided that she wanted to surf, so she walked all the way out on the nose of my boat. She did fine keeping her balance until Robert ran into us with his boat. Then off Zoie went (She wears a doggie life jacket for just this reason). She kept going back & forth between the Kayaks.

My knees sometimes get stiff from being in the Kayak for long periods so I bent them up & out of the hatch. I do not have as much control or balance in this position, Zoie picked this moment to start wiggling. We came as close as I've ever come to flipping. That was scary.
The worst thing about flipping is swimming the boat back to a shallow enough spot to get back in.
Good Kayakers can get back in their boats anywhere.

I had my first swim of the year & we had a doosey of a storm. There is a humming bird nest in the neighbors tree.
