In March of 2015 I took my kayak out for the first time for the year. I kayaked at least once a month every month through the rest of 2015. I was bale to get out in the water in January and February of 2016, so I ended up kayaking at least once a month through all of 2016. And then I was able to get onto the water in January and February of 2017 as well. I figured I had it made.
Mother Nature had different ideas.
See the photo at the top of the page? This is where I kayak. Do you see water? Neither do I. I see only snow and ice.
It is cold. It is very cold. We occasionally have cold snaps like this in late January. We never have cold snaps like this in December!
So I did not kayak in December. I was here a couple of weeks ago, but there were gale force winds the entire time – kayaking in those winds is not the smartest thing to do when the temperature was hanging just slightly above freezing. I decided to wait.
Oh well, I almost made it. I don’t think I’ll get every month in 2018, either. Oh well….
