On the Water

Finally -- a photo of us on the Huron River in our kayak. I begged a passer-by to take out
picture with her cell phone and send it to us, and she very kindly did so. What a nice lady!
Pushing off.
Getting ready to go. Len uses a battery-operated pump, and then a couple of
strokes on a hand pump. The whole kayak folds up into just part of our car's trunk.

Looks like that you two had a great time :-)

It's amazing how the seats are added afterward. I've been in a kayak that had to be attached to the roof because nothing collapsed. You two look really happy on the Huron River. What a way to enjoy an afternoon.

Just yesterday I encountered someone blowing up a kayak. I had no idea! So glad you're enjoying summer.

What a kind person to get a shot of the two of you in the kayak. I miss kayaking.

Mae and Len, You are very adventurous. I wouldn't dare use a blow up kayak. I am very much a land lubber. Have a great weekend, and I hope the sun shines on your kayaking trips.

Nice pictures of you in the kayak.
Best regards Irma

I never knew that there were kayaks that could inflate. How convenient and easy to take for a day on the river. Enjoy your weekend.
FYI, the banana slug is still the mascot for the sports teams at the Univ of CA at Santa Cruz according to google. I never knew, what a fun fact, thanks!

how wonderful to get the shot of you. :) And now I miss my old kayak. I had one earlier but it became to heavy for me as I grew older. Seems nice the one you have.

Linda said...

Neat kayak! Glad you got your picture taken.

Looks like it was a fun outing for both of you. So kind of the passerby to oblige. Happy weekend.

Very cool indeed! I like the idea of an inflatable kayak you can easily take anywhere!
