Today I relaxed in the morning and decided it was a good day to take a short, easy paddle. Well, so much for that idea, we ended up paddling 8 miles today. No idea how that happened, didn't seem that far, lol.
We stuck close to home and went to our town launch. It was low tide, so not too many places to paddle in the coves, so we went around the island and then headed out to the bay. We were going to go to a spot on an inner cove that has a strong current coming through a channel, so you can swim in one spot and never move, but it was too shallow.
We ended up paddling to the other side and paddling, till we found a nice sandy spot. Rhode Island has a lot of rocky coast and this area is mostly rocks, but we were able to find the perfect spot all to ourselves.
Lots of beach, just for us;)
Since the tide was out, there were a lot of exposed shells on the beach. I threw this guy back in the water after I got his photo, way too hot to be stuck on the beach.
It was a humid day out, but the cool ocean breezes made it perfect for paddling.
Coming into the harbor was fun too, lots of boaters coming and going and all with a friendly greeting as you pass by, I love my town:)

Kayaking is something I would never do (don't like the water so much), but it seems so refreshing...so freeing! And, your photos are always beautiful, Debbie.
What a perfect week you and hubby had...a perfect Anniversary! All the best!

You must have muscles galore after all the paddling this past week.
we love our kayaks too we usually stick to the lakes and ponds here.
