Kayaking

I started off the day at 6:30 doing outdoor Yoga with Audrey at the Y.  It was so nice out there watching the clouds go by and not as cold as I thought it would be even though it was only 63° when we went.
At 9:45 Mary Beth joined us and we drove out to Fairport to the Erie Canal Boat Company to use our Groupon for a half day of Kayaking.  We had sit on Kayaks that turned out to be pretty comfortable with good back support.  They were easy to use and we had perfect weather.  We had the Riviera by Jackson.
Once I got home I checked on google maps for the distance and we paddled 2.5 miles each way.  If we wanted to go to Shoen Place for lunch, which was a thought we had, we would have had to paddle 6.6 miles in each direction.  Although the Erie canal is  East-West it is anything but a straight line.  Our paddle took us South.
 Once we returned the boats we needed some nourishment and discovered Whatcha' Got Cookin' practically next door where we were able to sit outside alongside the canal and have some delicious sandwiches. Thanks to Audrey for the next pictures.
