Josse got back from Hawaii and so came over to run. She looked all tan and rested and was even wearing bright Hawaii colored running gear. I got to hear a little about her vacation; the beaches, the hiking, and kayaking. Probably now for the rest of the day I'm going to dream of Kayaking in Hawaii. There were Kayakers on the river yesterday. I think I'm finally going to get one this year. I keep thinking that since I don't go to Baja anymore I can't justify it as much. I loved to love to Kayak in San Felipe. Early in the morning, before the sun rises, when there is no wind and almost no waves, a porpoise or two may surface around where you'd be paddleing. They always swim parallel to the shore and in groups so even if you only saw one, the water would be churning where they swam below the surface. It was always so thrilling when that happened. Sometimes around here on those soft, still mornings, Utah Lake is a mirror and I dream about hiding a kayak in the bushes so I can have it ready for those moments. A friend showed me how to paddleboard last year. And I did like it, I'd have to that a lot if I lived near the ocean. But I can also take the kayak on the river when it's full in Spring and early summer. |
