Tonight I went out kayaking with xanderphreak. The paddle was good..it's been about three weeks since I was out last..the ankle put a stop to most of my active fun as of late.

Anyhow, in preparation for a Lake Superior paddle in a few weeks, he taught me how to do some safety things that I should have learned long ago.. proper wet-exit technique, some self-rescue, I learned what happens when one's center of gravity shifts when re-entering a kayak..

Yeah. That was back in the water for me.

I did freak out the first time I went over today..I've been a bit panicky at being suddnenly immersed in deep water since I was a kid..bad experience. I am, however, much better at it than I used to be.

Anyhow, xander was quite patient.

Then for beers..I spilled my second drink in two friggin' days..mebbe it's time to start drinking the cheap stuff. (What am I saying??)

We jumped a couple fences, navigated a bridge overpass..me, in a skirt..

All in all, a good evening.
