Paddle Day 33: Winds, Waves and First Surfing Adventure

Early morning interview with WTNH

A restless night.  Waking up every hour or so to check the weather.  Debating whether to risk kayaking in the winds and seas kicked up by the constant winds and high gusts.

Paddle Day 32: Longest and Easiest Paddle Day, and Another First!

Paddle Day 29: Head Winds, Splashes and Saved by Sue!

About to be PUSHED OFF

Launched from Noank with a big push.  So much for self propelled.   How can I get those pushes all day long?

Adventures of Patito Amistoso: Chapter Three

Dear children at Safe Passage and around the world,

Swimming at last!

I am so happy!  I finally swam alongside Deb.  Can you find me in the photo?  It is hard because I am yellow and the kayak is yellow.  I even have a yellow safety line!  I like that safety line.  If the waves get too big I ask Deb to pull me in!  I keep the safety line on when I am on the kayak as well, so if I get swept overboard, Deb can haul me back aboard.

Paddle Day 28: New state, Protected waters and Company!
