Narragansett Bay Paddle

Yesterday I wanted to go paddling again and since we got a late start, we went to the local launch on the bay.
I was sore and tired when I started and sorer and dragging paddling back, good thing the wind and tide were moving me along;)

Today I took a break, need to rest once and awhile and eventually I hope to get strong enough to do day long paddles.
I worked on my long runner, I just might finish it before the summer is over.

I always get out first, bill is so slow and maybe it is because he pushes me off the rocks first;) While I was sitting there, I could see groupings of starfish all over the rocks.



And this is Bill, going back the way we came. He couldn't remember if he locked the car, so he had to paddle back to check. He is in much better shape than I am, so the extra paddling was easy for him.



I just sat on the water, it was so calm and beautiful out. I enjoyed the scenery and watched the boats putting out pots for oysters.



We went as far as the Jamestown Bridge and took a break. You can see further up the bay and Dutch island from here, so beautiful views. It was way too cold for me to swim. This is what is left of the old bridge, with the new bridge spanning across the bay. Going back was nice, the tide was coming in and the wind was at our backs.
