Pictures First paddle trip!

I started kayaking with my local boathouse this summer. Went on my first shirt trip yesterday in the harbor. So fun and a great view of NYC as usual. Last pic is from nesr the boathouse after boats & gear were washed & put to bed. Just happy and sharing!

At least you didn’t go 10 miles off shore with no radio and no plan 😅

Omg that was a wild read! I couldn't help but think of the contrast btw that and my paddle. Leaders certified by TKF in front, back, inside and outside, two radios on the harbor channel and coast guard channels, lights, group messages to land at our departures and arrivals. etc etc. The ocean is no joke!
