Not the Forecasted Weather, Went Anyway!

My first solo trip in the kayak; 5.2km to the pub for hot chocolate and back again.

Outward bound trip against a westerly breeze with bumpy wavelets and it was raining and chilly. Return trip similar conditions, minus the rain, so wind helped push me along, so much more fun!
I'm sure that the hot chocolate must have helped as well. Kayaking sounds fun

Neat! How was the hot chocolate?

Next time, ask for a drop of rum in that hot chocolate.

Glad you went and got this shot.
January 19th, 2022  
Oh wow you are so brave!
January 19th, 2022  
Girl! You are crazy! I cannot imagine going out in this kind of weather on a kayak! Even with the promise of hot chocolate at the end! Nice shot of the kayaks though.

I am very much in favour of reward-based exercise. Great plan!
I love the composition of this photo, with the snaking shoreline and distant birds.

Thereā€™s no stopping you now.
January 19th, 2022  
that's sure hard slog for a hot chocolate!
January 19th, 2022  
Wow well done! Hope you had another hot chocolate when you got home too.

@serendypyty Hot soup and cuppa and then out into the rain to rince it down!
@koalagardens didn't feel like a slog
@wakelys there is, I ache all over (esp wrists!!)
@ljmanning I'd like to take credit but ths was a quick snap with view to edit if needs be! As it is all I did was a teensy crop
@grammyn it was fun, but think easier and faster with two?!
@quietpurplehaze not once did I feel unsafe (but was with others and wearing appropriate gear!)
@tinley23 its a pretty harbour
@monikozi need to be alcohol free as back in car to go home!
@salza it warmed the cockles and hands!!

Still brave in my book!

Quite like the kayaks in the picture

@30pics4jackiesdiamond you might be right as long as the two paddlers are synchronized but my husband says thatā€™s the quickest way to a divorce when A husband and wife are trying to share a two person kayak

@grammyn ooops!!!
@joansmor it would have been a full shoreline!!
@quietpurplehaze v kind!!

You are amazing such hard work for a hot chocolate. Well done Jackie.
January 19th, 2022  
I bet the hot chocolate tasted all the better for the hard work!
January 20th, 2022  
Good for you. Not for me though.
January 20th, 2022  
Terrific adventure. Love the comp of the photo.
January 20th, 2022
