Today being Canada's 141st birthday was a national holiday. It was a double "whamy" as the holiday fell in the middle of the week, and with Monday sandwiched between the weekend and Canada day -- that too was almost a day off.
With azzure blue skies and 26 degree bright sunshine, Antrix and me decided to attempt a long range kayaking trip from Port Credit to the CN tower. We launched from Snug harbour but as soon as we hit the open lake, the choppy waters made the going pretty tough. We plouged through the slightly chilly waters and watched the bow of the kayak dip repeatedly and break the waves. Some of the high waves washed over into the cockpit and it makes me more determined to buy a skirt. Approx 1.5hrs later saw us opposite Promenade. We parted ways as I headed to the Promenade harbour but Antrix paddled on westwards to the CN tower. I returned to Port Credit and headed up the river in relatively calmer waters right up to the QEW bridge. Approx 3 hrs later a tired Antrix called from a park near Humber river and I drove down to pick him up. Antrix is exhausted and I somehow seem to have got sun burnt. It was a great trip and the sport is getting more and more addictive. In the weeks ahead I see a tussle between Anita and me on how we spend weekends.
