Behold, more boating pics. For I was paddleboarding yesterday and the frost on the grass in combination with the fog in the air made for an enchanting atmosphere. I didn't even mind the cold (much) because it was so beautiful.

I took the pics with my phone so they got a bit darker than it actually was, but considering I took them from a moving board, vaguely pointing in the right direction while trying not to spin off course, I'm really happy with how they turned out.











This is the creek that runs through town. It's usually too shallow for canoeing, but my board doesn't need a lot of water underneath when I don't put on the fin. I only touched ground a few times when passing groundsills; hope the level will rise another 20cm or so in the coming weeks. That would be perfect.

I'm happy you like'em. Boating is the best. I've always loved it, I'm so glad I bought this board. I also have a very cheap inflatable kayak which I got as a backup when the vent on this one had to be exchanged. It's not nearly as comfortable and fast but it's nice to have a second one to take friends. Well, usually I let them have the board because I want them to get the maximum enjoyment out of it. :)

Couple weeks ago I took a friend to the most beautiful spot I know, and we were paddling for a while when all of a sudden she blurted out "I feel like I'm on vacation!" That's really what it feels like. You're away from it all, on the water.
