two weeks of paradise: the kayak adventures

i live in a beach town called mission beach in san diego.

it's sort of a peninsula, beach on one side of the street and the bay on the other.

i live on the bayside, but the beach is literally a couple steps away.

i recently discovered my love for kayaking a couple weeks ago when my neighbor suggested i borrow his kayak for a spin around the backyard (the bay).

i was reluctant since my arm strength is close to nothing.

 ( my guy friends say i have bird arms :/ )

welp, the adventures were magnificent!

and it is quite a workout, but plenty satisfying!

no regrets here!

these pictures are almost all different times i went kayaking over the past couple of weeks.

we always end up beaching our kayak on an island like beach called paradise point.

it's actually a private resort, but nobody has ever said anything to me, us... (atleast yet).

^ captain rusty! (he sits like this most of the time when we are kayaking!) ^

^ rusty is verrrry tired from running around on the island we beached our kayak on ^

 ^ after kayaking with stef ^

 ^ does this look like a noxima commercial or what?? haha  (clueless... anybody?) ^

to end this short but sweet and adventurous post, id like to recommend this activity to anyone who lives by a body of water & was ever curious about it.

im not much of a "sporty" person,

but being in the middle of the bay

with nobody but maybe the other person paddling with you

is one of the most tranquil activities i have found to clear my mind (besides yoga).

and to those with no arm strength... YOU CAN DO IT!

remember -> bird arms over here <-

id also like to send my thoughts & prayers to those on the east coast.

i cant imagine how hard it has been!

stay strong!

until next time
