The husband, Tania, Garrett and I went to CT this weekend. We rented an Airbnb house which had a hot tub and a view of the river. It was such a cozy place and the weather on Saturday was in the high 60s! We launched from Mechanic Street Marina and Tania brought her Explorer, while I rented a recreational kayak. My kayak definitely kept me dry, but was a harder kayak to paddle. It was not a sea kayak, which slices through the water. The husband also had an Explorer but now has a Pilgrim kayak. Now I think he is going to get a Romany. Such is the kayak life! The river we were on is called the Pawcatuck River which flows to Little Narragansett Bay which leads to the Block Island Sound. When I was kayaking, 2 boats going the opposite directions created a wake close to me and almost knocked me on to some rocks! I paddled my ass off away from the rocks and I lived! Haha The husband went on a 3 day kayak trip known as Autumn Gales which his friend Greg runs. Every day people gather at 9 am to look at the weather conditions, wind, swell, and of course the tidal flows to see what kind of day they can have. They run tide race surfing classes, tidal planning strategy & crossings courses, and many others. It's all very serious! I was so happy to get away, even it was for two days. Plus I love that hot tub-it was so spacious and hot!
