Yes !! I did it!
I had my first kayaking class - first time in a kayak, first time in a boat on the Eno River - first time wearing a life vest, first time holding a paddle - WOW - I can see many fun, relaxing days in my future!
My kayak should be here tomorrow and unless the weather is not suitable, I will definitely be kayaking somewhere this weekend. I need to practice my strokes and get less tense but I feel rather confident about being able to paddle a kayak on flat water. I am not interested really in sea or white water kayaking. I don't need the excitement. I may one day try fish kayaking if I get the right kind of kayak for that.
So, hope to see you on the water sometimes. /Bunch on my PaintedTurtle kayak
P.S. Two symbols of success for me happened today. Some people might call it their good-luck symbols, but to me it was just a little sign that I was in my element. First, there was a great blue heron fishing at the waterfall in the river - that beautiful bird has been special to me for many years. The second has a shorter history - I recently bought a silver necklace with a dragonfly on it (sort of a kayak symbol) - well, today while in my kayak about 8 dragonflies landed on the bow of my kayak. Just a little personal affirmation, if you will. /Bunch

That's WONDERFUL!!!! Can't wait to see you on the water. I would like to try it my self. I think I would do good. It may not hurt my back as much, maybe. That would be quality time together, and we could fish as well. Sharon
