Beats going to the gym! Happy summer 🙂 Jean & Alex

Finally! We pulled our new GoPro out of the box and stuck it on Jean’s kayak. (In between those two events, much swearing and fumbling for reading glasses…have you seen how tiny the pieces are??? You need tweezers to install the memory card!) But we did it. TA-DAAAH!! Our first action-y video—5/31 paddle from HHYC in Larchmont to Echo Bay in New Rochelle. 🙂
Oh, yeah—we’re checking the box on our TBD (To Be Done!) Thursday post about getting a GoPro. The next TBD: learn to use it.
Recreational kayaks at Rye Municipal Marina are a row of lollipops against a vivid blue sky. We paddled there with Gary and Ivy on Memorial Day weekend (5/24), when The World’s Orangest Hat (Gary’s, from the Yonkers dollar store) got into the same shot with The World’s Most Visible Paddle (Alex’s, covered in reflective tape from reflectivelyyours.com, tagline: Be Seen Better… a case of truth in advertising):
Gary’s new Stellar S18S surf ski is a vivid yellow. But that’s now why he (and others) are scooping them up…
At less than 30 lbs., the kayakski (not a real term, just our take) is literally easy to scoop up. (Below, Gary dares the rest of us to try this at home.)
