Today was one of those special days when you get to introduce someone new to kayaking. A beautiful day with bright sunshine, clear skies, warm temp and just enough breeze to keep the bugs away. We, Kay, myself and Nancy one half of our best friends head for Lake Alvin about 2PM. This was Nancy's first chance to try her hand at paddling. When we got there we were greeted by a family with two littl
e boys who were fishing of the dock on the west end of the lake. Maybe I should rephrase that, they were suppose to be fishing, but they were much more interested in everything else going on. We unloaded and decided Nancy and I would take of first. Oh I forgot to mention this was Sam's first time kayaking too. Sam is on of our Mini Dachshunds and I finally decided it was time to see how he wold like being out on the water. So anyway I help Nancy in her boat and away we went. We headed south west toward where Nine Mile Creek enters the lake. We paddled all the way to the rocks just beyond the bridge before we turned around. Nancy did great. By the time we turned around and got back to the lake she was moving along very nicely. When we got back Sam and I gave up our boat and Kay and Nancy head east. It was a great day to just sit on the dock and soak up life. Well they soon returned and Kay and
I took one more paddle before we loaded up the boats and called it an afternoon. It was great to see Nancy do so well and not get a single point. (Inside joke). So until next weekend we packed away our paddles. By the way for those of you that may not know there is a nice paddle being held next Sunday near Mitchell. It is scheduled to be like 12 to 15 miles. If you interested just click on the link to your left for the South Dakota Canoe Association.. We will be there so if you can make it be sure to say hi. By the , remember that if you click on any picture you can enjoy a bigger version.
