A good day to paddle hard

Mumbai was overcast today. Lovely weather after the days of may heat.

Conditions were perfect to take a kayak out and I didn’t need a dry fit with the cloud cover. Slapped on a little sunscreen and after a quick warm up I was out with the wind behind me and the cool water rising over the sides of the kayak.
Heading out to the yacht was a breeze and I pushed it a little further to break the 2 km barrier. (I often do this to gauge my speed on runs to and fro) But you turn back to the shore and I could feel the strain on the arms and the wind hitting you square in the face.

I completed 3 trips. Covering a little more than 12 kms in an hour and a half.
It’s a steady beginning.
