The beauty of not sailing (but still being on the water)

This was a post from 3/29 that I neglected to post. 

Saturday I had a bad migraine, so I was inside most the day except for my daughter's soccer game. Sleeping and sitting in the dark. I had wanted to get to the boat with Uncle Thom and work on Hideaway's gauge that isn't working,

After driving my wife to the airport this morning, I knew today was all about my daughter. I took her to her kung fu class and then all I could think about was spending some time together kayaking.

She loves it as do I. She's a fun conversationalist, and she absorbs all sorts of stuff I think to talk about while we're sharing time on the water. Getting the large 2.5 person, 70+ lb kayak onto our SUV isn't the easiest and I'm usually sweating quite a bit by the time we get onto the water. But then it's very relaxing as we just chat away, with no particular hurry and no expectation that we're going to make it anywhere in particular.

Today we brought some bread for the gulls, and we got some waves from power boats. We saw a bunch of sailors, and a bunch more kayak renters. We read boat names, which is a favorite activity of ours. And she helped quite a bit,

A beautiful day. Some QT with my cutie. Even though we didn't go out on the big boat, I don't mind one bit.
