my new friend


Here she is! I haven't named her yet...I just had my maiden voyage with her yesterday. She looks just like this kayak but is yellow... I can finally be a part of the action out on Long Island Sound! I've watched so many people out there on the water for so many years and now I can be out there too...

It has peddles so I can get a good workout for my legs, and of course the paddle when I want to switch to upper body. I got it at the Boat Locker here in Westport, and the people there were very helpful and knowlegable. They took the time to show me every working detail of the kayak and were patient when I kept asking them to show me one more time!

I'm looking forward to spending lots of time on the water this summer...if you see me, wave hello!
