A beautiful way to end the day.
It was a full day of paddling. We launched at 10:00 and paddled for about a mile to get to McNab Lake. Spent most of the morning there, returning to the launch site by 1:30. Grabbed a bite to eat at Spoonbills and then decided to paddle to East Matagorda Bay by way of Rawlings Cut. It was about 3:00 by then and we paddled until dark. I fully expected to be sore the next day, but surprisingly was not. My arms felt used, but no more so than they do after a marathon knitting session. Could it be that knitting has conditioned me for kayaking?
I had hopes of finishing my second sock before this trip.
I came real close.
Your photos are beautiful and I especially love the one of the pelicans.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Do you fish or knit on these trips?
ReplyDeleteI love it! - Knitting conditioning one for kayaking - I always tell my children knitting should be considered a competitive sport!
ReplyDeleteYou are so going to love being on the water more!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so jealous that you are able to kayak right now. I have to wait until April, at the earliest.
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun. Knitting on the water hum has a nice sound to it. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteNice present but how are you going to paddle and knit as the same time? lol. Hope that you had a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI like kayaking way more than canoeing. Two summers ago, we went canoeing, and I had visions of happily knitting as we went. I was smart enough to skip the knitting. That made it less tragic when we tipped the canoe in the middle of nowhere and got everything soaking wet!
ReplyDeleteYou have the life!
