If you just go for a paddle than you can stop thinking about wanting to go for a paddle.

2015: Post 10 – The same but different

The weather was supposed to be poor this morning (rain and freezing rain), but the winds were to be low.  We decided to go to St. Philips with no plan in place other than to meet at 10 am.

I arrived twenty minutes early but Clyde and Terry were already there.  Before long Tony and Neville showed up.

Terry had thoughts on his mind of a fibreglass kayak and so I let him take Jenny for a little spin while Neville and Tony finished getting ready...



We decided to head up to Portugal Cove, taking our time, poking our way along the shore...






At Portugal Cove we decided to take out for a little stretch and a snack...  



It was such a nice day so we decided to continue up to Brock's Pond Falls...









At the falls we hung around for a bit, had a few laughs, and then headed back to St. Philips....






Tony and I did this paddle last weekend with Gerard (see previous post).  Along the way we discussed how it was the same coastline but how it felt like a different paddle from last week... the temperature was warmer, there was no wind, the water was flat calm, and a lot of the ice and snow had melted away.  Today felt like our first spring paddle.
