Kayaking On A Sunday

so... today i went kayaking... it was a spur of the moment thing.  we were supposed to go fishing but while driving around looking for the right place to plant our bait, we passed a kayak rental shop and since the weather is so nice... why not?

well... if any reason should be given to the question 'why not?' it's because i can't swim, even if my life depended on it... which means that i've developed a mild aversion to water sports.  but... we went anyway.. and it was a good thing we did... the view was really nice... sunny with clear blue sky.  it was a little bit difficult to paddle though, because doggy was with us.  before we rented the kayak, we tested his swimming ability and he was fine.

half an hour later, doggy proved that he is not a strong swimmer after all.  he struggled a bit after we put him in the water... so he had to be hoisted up, soaking the cold sea water along with him. 

 

despite getting my clothes all wet, and now having a sore left arm, it was a really fun activity.

the cost of renting a double kayak for 1 hour = AUD $40

enjoying the sunny clear blue sky, seeing doggy swim (and later seeing him accidentally fall into the water and almost losing him with the waves) = PRICELESS
