RE: Wet Wednesday at Lake Superior
Oh my. You are right. You and John would get on like a house on fire.
He still does a 10 day trip in the Scottish Islands every year with one of his friends.
At home it's mostly kayak surfing as the sea paddling is a bit tame. Although he does paddle along the coast from time to time.
I bought him a kayak sail a couple of Christmases ago but, sadly, he wasn't able to use it on his trip this year. It was either way too windy or none at all apparently.
Like you they just take off and camp on the beaches or stay in local bothies, which I wrote about some time ago.
You must really miss it but it's good that you took the chance when you had it. 😢
I would love to hear John's tales! My kayaking friends have offered to take me out in a tandem, but I have refused. It would defeat the fealing of independence that I loved about kayaking. I don't have any feeling in my left hand and I even experimented with strapping it to the paddle to see if I could do it all with my right hand but I ended up going in circles and I decided that wasn't the answer! So it's okay just to have all the great memories.
