Good advice for kayaking against the waves on the way out. I always prefer my hikes to be uphill at the beginning so that I am downhill on the way back! Thank you for the information about kayaking! Jason and I are so interested and have talked about getting kayaks!

I thought all hills were uphill both ways 😉 That's how they all seem to me anyway. Hiking is so hard and I'm always in awe when someone says that they like it. I hope the information was helpful. I really love kayaking so much that I think everyone should try as long as they have some water nearby...and have a lifejacket. I think you would love it. Did you mention if you've done it before and are just waiting to buy the kayaks? I have a couple places to check out to possibly get some good deals if you're ever interested. Here's to happy summer days ahead 🥂🌞

Such a breathtaking view and the seal encounter was funny! Could relate so much to the extra boobage part - it's my biggest insecurity. I don't remember if I told you, but I'm also on a weight loss journey. Sadly, even if I lose all the extra weight, it won't fix the boob problem 😞 Wish I could afford a breast reduction one day! Love how you and your partner share fun hobbies and get to spend quality time together 💜

Ah, the seal will forever be my shame. I looked up Harbor Seals and they're basically the puppy dogs of the sea so I feel pretty silly. The big boobage is by far my least favorite part about being bigger. Nothing ever fits right and I hate how I always have to wear some form of a bra just to be mildly comfortable. You haven't mentioned that you're also on a journey yet, I think, but you have given really good advice on recipes and checking the TSH so I figured you knew a thing or two about checking in on a healthy lifestyle. I think without my extra weight I'm sitting at a C cup, if I remember correctly, it's been a few years 😅. It's insane how much it can vary from person to person and that once all the extra fat is gone, there's still so much left. Here's to be big breasted and on a weight loss journey 🥂🌰

I had a two seat Hobie before (14 feet). Usually, with two of us in it, it was easy enough. One day I went out solo, sitting in the rear position. When the afternoon winds kicked up, it was a chore to paddle back in. I ended up going around in circles!

[@michewi]

Oh my gosh, yes! I hadn't even touched on this but thank you for commenting about this! I've experienced this too. The circles are so frustrating and happens easily when the balance is out of whack. My kayak is a solo and it still happens to me. Thank you for mentioning the trails of a two seater and sharing your experience ❤

Its the wrong buoyancy aid for you. Look for a BALTIC CANOE - ONE SIZE FITS ALL 50N PADDLE BOARD BUOYANCY AID. It will fit you better. Upgrade those paddles too. Aluminium paddles snap when you need them most. Look for a Ainsworth paddle or something like it. There cheap and you cant snap them.

Thanks for your input and recommendations! I'll definitely look into the Baltic Canoe buoyancy aid and Ainsworth paddle you suggested. Safety gear is crucial, and finding the right fit and quality equipment is key. I appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise! 🚣‍♂️
