My first paddle with my new inflatable kayak, Karolina! The forecast was for rain at 10, so I got up early and was on the water at 6:30, in time for a thunderstorm twenty minutes later. So I had to take shelter on Mugg's Island. There was a restaurant there; it was closed, of course, but their tables were out. Very convenient.

After the storm, the part through the canals between the islands was amazing! So beautiful and quiet! I was the only one on the water.

But then the wind picked up and the rain started again. The crossing of the harbour back to the city and the paddle along the wharfs were very hard. I was *soaked* by the end.

9.6km on water, 2.4km portaging from home to the water and back (including my first ever portage-in-an-elevator).
