It was a hot and humid evening, but once on Lady Bird Lake, the temp didn’t seem too bad! There were 8 TOWN-Austin women JaniceB, Gail P-C, DianeN, LindaF, NancyL, JudyA, AnnaE, JacqueA and her 3 young cousins, McKenna, Grayson, and Marshall.
Marshall had fun fishing from his kayak and meeting another guy fishing. Jacque hung with Marshall as he tried to find the perfect spot to fish. McKenna and Grayson kept up with the rest of us and McKenna commented several times how in shape we all were. We enjoyed their enthusiasm being on the water and how much they loved coming to visit cousin Jacque who keeps them busy with activities.
We kayaked toward the city and encountered many stand up boarders and kayakers. A confident swan came right up to several of our kayaks.
We got a workout against the current, on the way back to the Rowing Dock. Linda F witnessed a rescue at sea: some people paddling a huge swan apparently couldn’t make it back to the dock, so they were towed in by a pontoon boat. It was a comical sight!
Afterwards most of us went to Maudies for Mexican food. Fun to sit outside, visit and laugh. Hope you can join us next time Wed, July 27.
