Event Recap:

Kayaking, Newport Harbor
January 28th, 2007

Sunday Funday:

After a night of drinking the last thing you want to hear at 10:30am on a Sunday morning is your phone ringing.  Turns out it's my friend Emanuel on the other line and in about 30 minutes he's going to go kayaking.  My first thought was 'fuck you' but then I realized it'd be worth it once I got out there so I decide to head out to my friends Sheryl's house to meet up Emanuel, my friend Linden, & Sheryl.

We all pile into a car and head out to Newport Harbor to the Newport Aquatic Center (NAC).  This is the second time I've ever gone kayaking and my first visit to the NAC.  [The NAC is a non-profit corporation offering the public unique opportunities in the Olympic water sports of rowing, canoeing, kayaking and outrigger canoe competition.]


Newport Aquatic Center

My friend Linden took a class there a couple of year ago so we just had to head straight back to the back of the center grab 4 kayaks, 4 vests, & 4 oars and drag our asses down to the shore to launch.


Watch these bitches do my work

The weather was perfect in my eyes.  Sun was just peaking through the clouds and there was only a slight breeze from the ocean.  The next 3 hours were some of the most relaxing I've ever had in my life.  Being out on the ocean in your own kayak you don't have time to think about any of the problems you may have.  They all just melt away...

My vote goes to the caption on the second picture.

I'm a little more excited than everyone else for some reason.

Also, I have to say my friend Emanuel is a genius.  He realized that if you lean back on your kayak you can just let the current take you away and soak up the sun and relax. 

Laziest guy I know.
