Kayaking - Lake Taupo

An early morning to make use of the calm lake and head out with the boat to circle the island. At least we made it a quarter of the way. Then it got too choppy. Shame, really, but you can‘t control the weather. Yet.
Instead, we went out with the kayak. Maddie has a decent amount of experience under her belt, I don’t really (apart from that one time 15 years ago). So, after a short introduction to the basics of kayaking, I paddled away. I truly regret not having taken up kayaking when I was younger. That was such fun! Maddie and I had a little race to a buoy - which I won, so I‘m using this victory as a reliable measure to roughly calculate that I would have won the Olympics some time ago.Les mer
