I fell in love with kayaking after taking one out for a few spins during our time at the lake last summer with Tom’s family. Then, Tom bought me a kayak on a Black Friday sale at Academy Sports for the best Christmas present ever!!!
On Sunday, I got to take my kayak out on it’s maiden voyage. I went on a guided tour with three Smyrna Outdoor Adventure Center guides and 11 others down a calm river. We paddled about an hour one way, rested and floated, and paddled about an hour back. I love, love, loved it.
On Monday, I met two sweet friends from church to kayak on the lake. They were so thoughtful and brought me a whistle (for if I get into trouble on the water) and a waterproof bag (that I can fill with necessities and clip with a caribiner to my kayak). We paddled for an hour to the left and an hour back, stopped for a bathroom break and to stretch, and paddled for an hour to the right (rested and floated) and an hour back. It was one of my favorite days of the summer.
