Forgot My Water-Camera Today

 

Forgot my water-camera today.  Always good to do, once in a while.  During my 45-minute paddle-workout, I found myself still checking photo opportunities, but I also found myself noticing other things.  The quality and consistency of my strokes, for example, or lack thereof.  The balance points of the board, if I changed position.  Also, aspects of the sailboats and motorboats on Richardson Bay that were other than telegenic: waterline bio-creep; working boats vs storage boats; changes in mooring positions; new flags, new sails, and new decorations.  I also focused more on using the slight swell to my benefit; it was slight, so that took focus I usually don't spare when the camera is handy.

Moored


 And unmoored as well.

Yesterday's Looking-for-Cool.

Sausalito morning.

Accidental Exposure

 



I made the local paper as an extra in a photo!

(Thanks, Bibit, for sharing this with me.)


At my first paddle boarding lesson a month or so back, a writer was part of the group learning to paddle.  ( A photographer was stationed on land.)

In the photo, I am looking down at my board instead of looking forward and beyond. Grrr.


(I look at my skates on the ice too: bad form.)

Meet The New Board

 


My new paddle board is definitely demanding: sleek and tippy. 

(Still, the test isn't genuine without the threat of failure.) 

But my legs and knees, while sore and stiff in the morning, seem to benefit from the exercise, and my spirit certainly has been glad to find salt water in this new way. I wonder, yes, if I should have chosen a cruiser, but all the books and the guides say buy the board that challenges you. 

Mere salesmanship? 

I will tell you after some serious workouts.


P.S. I do like how fast this board can be, even when I am merely in kayak-mode.
