White water kayaking

This morning Ross and I went on our kayaking adventure. There was a limit of 25 participants. Seven went. We were briefed on correct technique, given an exercise routine, equipped with life jackets and set off in a convoy. The weather was beautiful. Cloudless blue sky and temp in the high 20's. 

As we set off hopes were high of shooting the Rapids and coming through unscathed. We paddled round a bend and there it was - more dead calm water!! It was a sedate paddle through a lovely setting in perfect weather. We had about an hours workout and when we got back, after more exercise, we had a picnic.

Luggy and the girls went to some 400 year old house where they made sugar almonds, and guess what - they bought some almonds!

Lunch was a BBQ up on deck as we sailed away from Pocinho. It has been a great day so far.
