First Time Out - June 2014

OK, so I made Joe watch since he gave her to me.  I think he laughed so hard he peed himself.  :)

I knelt for a while and got used to the paddle and the board and just went back and forth between the Meloche's and our house.  And then I decided to try to stand.  The first time I stood up it was a quick "Oh BOY!" and right back down on my knees.  This brought Joe to tears.

The second time I tried to stand I was in the water in about 30 seconds.  The time it took for me to look at my feet - I know rookie mistake.  The third try was more successful.  If I was a bull rider it would have been a blue ribbon because I stayed on, paddled out and turned, paddled more and turned again and paddled back to point A.  It was at least a 3 minute ride.
