Great pictures Cindy - I like the picture of you and Cameron kayaking. My boat would be going in circles
Did you talk to Cameron already?
We had a slight problem. Going out, we paddled into the wind and the guide said on the way back it would be much easier as we'd have the wind at our backs and the tide was going out. So, we turn around and just about as soon as we did, Cameron & I headed into the oyster beds. Everyone else was going along their merry way, yet here we were stuck in the oysters. No matter how we tried, we couldn't get out of them and continued to go sideways. We were in hysterics laughing so hard.
We'd get out of the oysters (which are really, really sharp & bumpy) and then we'd head over to the opposite side of the creek, still in the wrong direction from everyone else.
I thought the guide would come and help us navigate back into the group, but he just kept going along, saying it was a good thing we were laughing about it.
Cameron later said to me he didn't thing the guide could help us anyway as he couldn't have gotten out of his own kayak with all the oysters around.
My
theory is that we got caught up in a current going the other direction that all the other kayaks missed. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
And, Cameron was so mad at me at the beginning of the trip. He really wanted to have his own kayak and we were going to let him, until the guide asked if Cameron had every kayaked before - to which Cameron answered yes he had and I said I was the one who never kayaked before. The guide wouldn't let me go out in a single kayak as they can tip rather easily whereas a double can't tip because of the stabalizers. So, even though Cameron could have gone out in the single, the guide wouldn't let me go out in the single, so Cameron was stuck with me as then the guide wouldn't let me take Walker because I had never kayaked before. It turned out okay in the end because Cameron later agreed that it would have been tough out there by himself. I just kept reminding him of what fun he would have missed out on if he hadn't been stuck with dear old Mom!
Mary, when you go in October, are you staying in a studio? I've read that some of the views from the Lodge are really nice. We never stay in the lodge because we like the single buildings and from my understanding, most of the studios and one bedrooms are located in the lodge (lockoffs?), while the 2 bedrooms are mostly located in the single buildings. IIRC, there are only 5 studios & one bedrooms located in the single buildings (all lockoffs), underneath the grand villas. The remaining of them are located in the main Lodge building.
All this talk about DL wants me to plan a trip out West!
I just can't do them either. I can be a passenger but not the driver, I feel like I will drive right off and get vertigo and everything! Glad you made it safely.
I can't stand my Beach styles without socks. For some reason, my feet sweat and nothing is grosser than sweaty feet.
