Today I went kayaking for the first time in my life! One of my best friends has been absolutely OBSESSED with it, and so I had to give it a try - plus! it's part of her birthday celebration so it's a must. We went to Monterey Bay and the weather was absolutely beautiful! Large bodies of water scare me. I do not challenge the ocean or hold any preconceived notions of being better than or able to compete with the ocean and all its power. NO sir. We were out on the water for about 2 hours. I kid you not, a turtle swimming through tar would have had better speed than me. BUT, I made it to the kelp forest and anchored myself there with my sister while my friends, the pros, went off to explore. LET ME TELL YOU: Kayaking gives you QUITE the arm and ab workout. I was tired! Plus, I was gripping my paddle so tight I hurt my hands. Ouch. Worth it? Definitely. Will I do it again? Probably - but I'll be trying out different and new activities first.
