I DID IT! MAIDEN VOYAGE OF THE KAYAK!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors

Last June of 08, I wrote a blog post, "Stress Gotcha". One of my goals was to get a kayak for stress relief. My husband bought me a kayak this year and I paddled the river.........Ya baby!

Kayaking Relieve Stress? Yikes! Very nerve racking at first, because my husband gave me a real hefty shove into the river from the bank and the kayak wobbled and wobbled with me yelling as I knew I was going to roll over. He was standing on the shore yelling, "relax, just relax". Easy for him to say, at that moment I was thinking, oh, my gosh, I believe he was trying to kill me.

Well, I finally was able to catch my breath and relax and I really enjoyed it. I had such a good time.

Kayaking

What a rush, I was accomplishing one of my goals. I can't wait to get out there again.

LIVING IN CHEBOYGAN IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN, THERE ARE MANY, MANY LAKES AND RIVERS FOR KAYAKING. COME ON UP.......I'LL RACE YA.

Jacqueline, Looks likes you had a fun time on the river. What captured my attention is the morning I am showing a home on Kayak Road. Strange name for a road, but I will think of you along the way.

I've never been Kayaking before, but there is a park not far from where we live that gives free Kayaking tours and my wife and I have talked a lot about trying one out.

Mary, I did have a good time, however, I have much to learn so I can keep myself afloat.

JL, You should try it, once you get over the fear of drowning, you guys will have fun.

Bob, It is fun. However, because we didn't get summer this year until...well, now, I've only been out twice the last time being last Sunday finally. Hopefully again this weekend. You should come up this fall, so pretty in the fall.
