Where is your happy place?

June 26, 2019

For me, that’s easy. It’s out kayaking. I could be having the most stressful day on the planet, but when I get out on the water in my kayak, it all goes away. I am just enjoying the fresh air, the way my boat smoothly glides through the water and all the wildlife. I am […]

All ready to go!

May 15, 2019

It is that time of year again, when we bring up our kayaks. I look forward to this all winter. We store our kayaks in the basement and have to bring them up through the bulkhead. The bulkhead is at a very awkward angle, so it is always a challenge to bring them up without […]

It is time for a vacation

August 1, 2018

I had an “aha” moment this summer: “Vacation, for me, is just as much a state of mind as a state of place.” We normally don’t go away in the summer; I don’t like the crowds. It can be fun to stick close to home. Our town is deserted since most folks go away. These […]

What is your priority?

July 25, 2018

I think it’s important to periodically review your priorities, since they may change over time. Right now, my priority is kayaking. As I tell my friends: “It’s my happy place.” Making something a priority means that you may need to schedule your life around it. This can be hard to do, but I have found […]

The view from a kayak

July 11, 2018

You may have noticed that there are a lot of posts about kayaking these days. This is the summer of kayaking. I would rather be kayaking than doing anything else. We have had some glorious days and it has been heaven to be out on the water. Thought you would enjoy the views from the […]

Any guesses as to what is going on here? Looks to me like a kayak store! What do you think? 🙂

The crimson water lily

June 27, 2018

I was out doing my favorite thing, kayaking, the other day. It was a glorious summer day; the temperature was perfect and there was just the slightest breeze. I was really enjoying myself and taking deep breaths of the fresh, clean air. I looked down and saw this beautiful crimson water lily. I have never […]

Why kayak into the wind

June 6, 2018

It’s kayaking season again and it is my favorite time of year. It is especially nice to go out on these early summer days before it gets too hot and humid. The only down side is that it can be quite windy. The other day was sunny and the temperature was a perfect 80 degrees. […]

Life and kayaking into the wind

September 6, 2017

I love kayaking in the fall. The beautiful, colorful leaves of the trees look especially nice from the river. The humidity is a lot less in the fall, but you still get bright sunshine. The only thing that often comes with the sunshine is the wind. The other day was sunny and the temperature was […]

Rocks under water

Comments Off on Rocks under water

We are off to a good start with our kayaking this year. The weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve have been mainly kayaking on the Charles […]
