Hey All,
After my long 70 mile round trip bicycle ride from Tampa to Saint Petersburg Beach on Friday evening (see my last post about that personal challenge), I got up bright and early on Saturday morning and drove about 1 hour to the town of Dunedin. There I met up with about 40 of my new found friends from one of my meetup groups for a wonderful day of Kayaking. This was my very first time to do this and where better than at one of the most premier kayaking sites in Florida!
This place was absolutely beautiful. The water was a perfect temperature and after renting our kayaks and related equipment we all paddled out to Honeymoon Island. Once arriving there we just hung out on the beach for a while, collected shells, swam a bit, explored some the wildlife and just socialized with one another. The total kayaking excursion lasted about 3 hours. Then after returning our equipment, some of us from the group went out for a late lunch where we had the chance to socialize a bit more.
All and all a wonderful day and a great experience. One more thing to check off my bucket list !
Have a wonderful week.
Luv, Gary

This looks far more relaxing than the bike ride!

Yes it was, except more of an arm workout than legs with the bike riding.

That is fun! Your bike ride got me and my husband going. Having some extra time this morning, we biked through the beautiful area of Temple Terrace: about a 15 mile trip.

Actually, speaking with Mike over dinner..he said it was more like 6 miles but to me it seemed like 15! I am just happy to get out there and be active again. It is a beautiful place to bike.

That looks like something I will never do (fear of water) but you looked like you were having a great time!

Yes, It was fun Kerry. You would have enjoyed it, the water was fairly shallow. Probably about shoulder deep, so almost like taking a bath or being in a hot tub.

Keep going and do this as regularly as you can. Every little bit of activity helps the mind and the body.
