Sunday Morning

I invited several friends who want to try kayaking to join me at Aqua Adventures for an easy paddle around parts of Mission Bay. For those who are familiar with Mission Bay this would be the standard Tour d'Penguins. Alas, due to unforseen events, only my good friend and former co-worker could make it.

We outfitted him in a nice stable Looksha V, and gently headed out from the docks. We kept the pace nice and slow since he has been nursing a back injury for some time. There was an abudance of water fowl and a seal or two to be spotted as we made our way toward Seaworld. We talk about the changes, or lack thereof at my old job, and how much I am loving my position at Qualcomm.



We had the tide and a little wind gently pushing to toward the penguins. We took a break and slow drifted past them. Geoff had a wedding to get to, so we turn back toward the docks. The sun was slowly trying to burn through the May Gray, as we pulled up to the docks. Geoff exited the boat without a problem. That is always the toughest part of the whole paddle for beginners. I've seen more than one person go splash!

Geoff helped carry my boat up to my car, and then headed out. I think he understood the peacefulness one can find on the water.
