Paddling and Walking

Cucuvou was a beautiful bay, but there wasn’t much space for a proper run. So, I got in the habit the few days we were there of paddle boarding to the beach and going for a walk. That might not sound like much of a workout, but with the wind blowing offshore at about 20 kts most of the time, the paddle to get from Exodus to the beach would really get my heart rate up. Sometimes I wouldn’t even be moving forward, and it would seem like I was on some sort of paddle boarding treadmill. And then when I finally made it to the beach, I would reward myself with a leisurely walk along the sand, picking up this rock or that shell and making the most of my “me-time.”

Luckily, one of the last days we were there the wind eased, and I got to enjoy a long paddle around the entire bay and enjoy its beauty from almost every angle.
