A birthday is always a good excuse for a little treat. So, on Wednesday this week, I had an aprés birthday outing with a kayak. Just an hour or so of gentle paddling with The Twist at Villaricos.
I made one of my usual early morning starts, hoping to be on the sea not long after 8.00 am. However, there was a touch too much 'lift' in the water to get afloat where I hoped - and I looked at a couple of alternatives before finding somewhere more suitable.
It was not a morning for meandering among rocks, but these had at least provided a sheltered bit of shore for launching. I don't like to get wet at a start of a trip!It wasn't a very long paddle - just enough to get back into the swing of things, now that the heat of summer has passed. Hopefully there will be longer trips as the days get even cooler.
