Super clear day paddling on the 15th, this past Tue. Return to the weekday lunch time calm, nice. Seeing as my usual pre-kayak exercise was jogging around Donath Lake, watching for cars and trucks with wide mirrors while dancing on the edge of the non-shoulder on CR13, the past weekend paddling seemed pretty peaceful.
I’ve got a bilge pump and a paddle float now. Need to find some time to practice dumping out and re-entering. Then I’ll feel better about heading toward the middle of the lake. These both stash right behind my seat pretty nicely.
