Kayaking Out to See the Sea (and a pub!)

My first solo kayak today with friends who were paired up in their kayaks. I managed to keep up with them for the 5km round trip, despite the slightly choppy conditions and my inexperience.

I took the bottom photo, which I hope justifies inclusion of the collage here!

oh, so 'solo' doesn't mean you are out there on your own, it means you are the only one in your kayak? you are having the best retirement!

@koalagardens I wouldn't go out on my own, if got into difficulty good to have others around to help/ call for assistance / laugh after resolution!!

I was on my own in the kayak, so the others had double paddle power!!

@shutterbug49 thank you, it's how the app sorts them

@randystreat another memory is the aches and pains I have this morning!!
