It was one of those beautiful summer days here in Prescott that said, "get outside".  Watson Lake is a quick 5 minute drive from our community to the  south boat ramp. We picked up our kayaks from Prescott Outdoors and we were out on the water. Carol was off and paddling away from me while I was having a bit of a problem going straight...   After taking a few minutes reacquainting myself with how to work the paddle I finally caught up with her.   

I can see why people love Watson Lake so much. I could just float out there for hours.  We skirted on the outside edge exploring the various nooks on the waters edge.  Just when you think the water ends you turn a corner and it opens up to another area to explore.  As we prepared to make our way back to the south ramp the water started getting a little bit choppy as the wind had picked up over the lake.  I managed to stay dry in the kayak the whole time until those little waves started slapping the boat. We steered ourselves right into the waves and dug the paddles in deeper to pull ourselves to the opposite shoreline and then just floated just outside the ramp area until our time was up and their was space for us to disembark.  That disembark I must say was not very pretty for me.  My upper body is strong but getting up from that squatted position required some assistance.  This will get better as I become stronger over time.  

Photo Lessons: Next time I will bring my little water proof camera and have it lanyard around my neck. Getting the G16 out to snap a few shots turned out to be too cumbersome.  A few more pictures are under Home/Retirement Endeavors/Watson Lake 071719

Until next time...
