I have been kayaking again now several times. I really wish I could take my camera with me, but there is no way I'm letting it get near the water.
Wednesday night was beautiful, calm, relatively warm, the sun setting as we come across an old ship right out of an old pirate movie. It was just amazing floating out there at water level as this big boat sailed by. I saw some really great photos in patterns cast by the dusky shadows of the ropes and sails.
Yesterday also, the wind was a little stiff, but just enough to make us work when we were out in the open, and just enough to make us really glad when we would find a calmer, sheltered spot. I was out there for four hours yesterday, and I could have stayed out four more.
I can't think of the last time I felt "ok" to be doing something for so long without feeling like I should be reading or working or taking a picture or studying. Even going for a long bike-ride through the country I always feel like I have to get more value out of the time by doing something else... usually taking photos, but also glancing down at a vocabulary list every once in a while to study. It's great not to feel like I have to multi-task.
I think I have to move someplace like this.
