How much fun could my first weekend of retirement be? We paddled out to Makinson Island, with a tailwind, no less. I actually cruised for a while, with my paddle held up as a sail. The island is remote, open, the grass cut, and a nice pavilion for rain cover, picnic tables, and porta potties. Perfect.The group planned a mixture of group and individual meals, and as we all unpacked our kayaks it was very obvious that there would be too much food, and way too much alcohol. The women outnumbered the men, so this was a very "girl focused" weekend.
After dinner the table was littered with mainly full bottles, brownies, liquer filled chocolates, etc. Did someone say girls weekend out? I have no idea when the guys disappeared for the night, but us girls had a blast. A little adult beverage to loosen us, some body and muscle sculpting exercise sessions, followed by massages to relax us again. Needless to say, a good, but very responsible, time was had by all.
Whatever the magic of the night was, it appears to have worked on me anyway!
In the morning Rodney cooked pancakes for breakfast, which we ate with leftover steak from last night.
It was an awesome relaxing weekend. Right up until we got back in the kayaks, into the water, and faced the paddle back, into a 25 mph headwind. Exhilirating!
