People ask why, at my age, I bought my first kayak 

[@ellenblack5376]

I get it! Something about the water, the quiet. It is wonderful. On top of it being beautiful out there. Enjoy and Happy New Year

That’s therapeutic 👍

Between kayaking and learning to fly fish it was a great Fall. Thanks for watching Wes

I realize most people watching this video are scratching their heads as they think of my channel as strictly a ukulele channel, which to be fair it has been, but like each of us, there are many sides to my life and this is simply another piece of the puzzle that defines who I am. In the future I may post other videos on hang gliding, magic or my love of life. And yes, as well as other ukulele videos. This video was filmed a few months ago just after purchasing my first kayak. There is a seven mile stretch which i tried to share a sampling of. The creek is less than 30 minutes away from my home and the final shot was taken right out my back door. I also took up catch and release fly fishing about the same time. Buying a fly rod is like buying a ukulele, one just isn’t enough. lol Life is so short, try and fill every moment with memories, friends and love. Thanks for watching. Wes

Good for you! For me, there is nothing more calming than paddling in the wilderness! I was searching YT for replacement strings for my "new to me" Mainland and came upon your channel. For a 6 month ukulele newbie, thank you for ideas and calming inspiration!

[@wschield608]

Oh no, thank you for taking the time to comment. 😊👍🏻 Take care, Wes

@@wschield608 For many of us that paddle in the Adirondack Mountains of NY, we use pack canoes with a double bladed paddle...an 84 yo friend bought a new one last year! Never too old to upgrade your paddling adventures...thankfully a ukulele or changing your strings is much less expensive! Have a wonderful holiday!

Thanks and right back at you! 😊
