Happy Paddling

I'm walking funny, bow-legged, and it's not from anything romantic. Just a bit of boardshort chaffing from today's sea kayaking which is going to put a stop to me having any men round for a while (and they were all queuing up, really).

Escorted by the most laid back guide ever, ten of us took double canoes around Shag Island (no action despite the name), Seal Island (all but three of them off shagging) and Penguin island (no funny name puns here).

It was a great day, realised I loved kayaking - normally I hate the sea, and I don't like waves. In this, I didn't mind as they broke over me (frequently as we paddled out to the islands into an usual gust) and when we rode waves. I'm definitely going out once I get back to Finland.

Spotted three seals, saw rehabilitated penguins, lotsa pelicans, got sunburnt - a good day had by all.

Sorry, not very prosaic but exhausted from sun, fun and what a friend recently called, my new found religous distractions...
