Wow!

Paul and I went kyaking today on the delta. This is the first time we've gone to the delta. We set off from Brannan Is. and went nearly 4 miles, at least that's what it looks like we did from looking at the map after we got back home.

It was very windy! It took us about an hour going out. On the way back the tide changed and it took us 4 1/2 hours to get back. The tide and the wind were incredible. No stopping for a rest or taking a break either. It was all we could do with both of us paddling to make any headway against the combined tide and wind.

We definitely worked our upper bodies well today. I've never paddled that long without at least a little break before. We should have guessed it would be a tough day for kyaking when the boat was nearly blown off the top of the Excursion by the wind just before we got to the park. But hey, it was too late to change destinations and we had no idea just how crazy it would be.

Well, we had fun, CHALLENGED our selves and probably worked off 10 pounds of fat. Not bad for a leisure weekend.

Have fun,
Dianne
