I wanted to go paddle the north sea from Ijmuiden towards Rotterdam this weekend...

Looks like this is not going to happen...

Though looks like perfect weather for the dutch championships in "cycling against the wind"....

Our summer weather is now bearable .... oh, wait 🤔 ...
I went kayaking for some deep inhaling.
Under what used to be normal conditions we would have had frost by now, or even see the first snowflakes falling. Instead, hardly any bare trees, many still green. It will be even warmer on the weekend so hopefully some more kayaking is in the cards.

There was a recent Reddit thread in the #kayaking sub where someone posted a picture of pogies that came with their used kayak purchase, asking “what are these things?” and I was very much hoping for a wrong-answers-only thread

“It’s a hat that allows you to carry a spare paddle on your head”

Continuing a kayaking trail map... Trees turned into 2D things that I'm nearly happy with. An exploratory "paddle bathymetry" check done (red route).

Landmark sighting photos taken, almost ready to draw a route proposal! should be about a 1km lap. Yeah, not much - however, it's local!

The shoreline really needs remapping. Considering going for a purposeful walk, now that it is full! (still won't get it 100% right..)

Suosikkitapani meloa - vastatuuleen, vasta-aallokkoon. Testailin myös kameran kiinnitystä otsapantaan - antaa vähän enemmän vapautta mutta ei ole ihan niin stabiili kuin rintavaljaisiin kiinnitettynä. #melonta #paddling #horisonttiVinossa #kayaking #packrafting
Day trip to Lake Tahoe for a shoulder season kayak at Sand Harbor. I have a love/hate relationship with Tahoe - it's beautiful but there are too many people there. Midweek in late September turned out to be a perfect time.

Saw this unusual looking kayak yesterday (photo taken with a long lens from high up on a cliff). Propelled with a Greenland style paddle.
It's made by a Swedish company, Melker.
Would have liked to talk kayaks with the paddler.

A highlight from yesterday. This kayaking trip felt so refreshing after a dull week.

Kayaking at sunset on a Western NSW lake 🌅🛶🇦🇺. Calm waters and warm reflections make this a tranquil nature moment. Perfect for outdoor adventure enthusiasts and travel inspiration 🌄✨. #Kayaking #travelphototime

Yay, I made it up the South Fork of the American River! It was 14 miles of kayaking, but it should have been 16 because I got lost AGAIN. I mean, this time I paid attention to where my little launch inlet was, but my brain said "no way, it can't possibly be there" when I came back.

Didn't actually make it all the way to the Salmon Falls Bridge because the water got too shallow and too fast. Found a place to beach, then hiked the last 200 yards to get a picture of the bridge.
