Went kayaking for the first time in my life yesterday.
It was such a thrill, but, of course, there were a few challenging moments.
When I first climbed into the kayak, I almost tipped it over, and within seven minutes I crashed after accidentally floating into a current.
It wasn’t the best start.
But I got better and better as the day went on.
Jeff and I spent seven hours on the Calapooia River, constantly paddling.
I couldn’t tell you how many branches I took to the face. Too many to count.
I wore sunscreen, but I don’t think I applied any to my knees. My knees are crispy, making every move I make fairly painful.
But it was worth it.
