tallulah

I have decided to call my new boat " tallulah".

I then googled the name its a choctaw word for leaping water so quite apt.

We have had amazing weather on the west coast of Scotland the last few days.

So this evening was the perfect evening to go for my first paddle in " Tallulah"

The sea was perfectly flat, a seal popped its head to say hello and the sun blazed down on us.

Andy practiced rolling whilst I just got used to the boat and paddled the legnth of the beach several times.

Then I just couldn't resist a swim in the crystal clear water.

let me introduce

my new kayak :-)

Exciting times .....

After being patient something I don't do very well my new boat is almost ready to collect.
I first started to Kayak over 3 years ago and even then began aspiring to have a rockpool.
So after lots of thought the colours were chosen, I designed the graphics as you can with Rockpools.
Hopefully we will be getting the all to go collect it soon.
My confidence took a major knock about 7 months ago when in Kayaking termanology I went for a swim,
for me it was very scary. I am now ready to get back into a sport that I love :-)

I will be the proud owner of one of these.

The picture above is one of Andy's taken on a recent trip, notice the fin of a basking
shark. It swam right under his kayak :-)

Whilst I am on the subject of excting things and most definately last but by no means least. I am really excited about collecting the new member of our family on saturday.
He is a gorgeous 8 week old English Pointer who will become a great companion for Sparky, Andy and I.
Lots more pictures very soon.
