Up in the Austrian Alps for a long #kayaking weekend with the 16yo.

It’s beautiful as always, but also FUCKING COLD 🥶

Big bob in Huron Meadows metropark. I see "bobs" all the time but this is the biggest, like 8 inches in diameter. No idea how they work or what they are really called (googling "bob" somehow wasn't helpful). #michigan #kayaking #HuronRiverSEMichigan #paddling

Very slowly getting ready to go on this year’s first #whitewater #kayaking trip tomorrow 😁

Time to dust off the gear, check the First Aid kit, and remember how to do camping in the car 🤔

It’s going to be a wee bit chilly, but we can’t be picky, can we?

Today I had ... fun... even though expectations where not met (Strong headwinds and faaar less support by the river than I thought)....

The kid has grown over the winter, so we had to get a new neoprene suit today.

Here’s hoping that the boat still fits…

Fun weekend testing sea kayaks in cold, windy (sleety, haily) Argyll.
It was good to test them in challenging conditions, but I noted how the weather improved as soon as I was off the water.

I’ve narrowed the field, but haven’t made my selection yet. Might need a longer test of the 2 contenders.

Last Saturday, went #kayaking to Ting Kok, where there is a massive mangrove site. This little "crab" was seen at Yim Tin Tsai.
Very lovely!

Bisschen Pause machen tut immer gut. 2019, alte Spree.
