Kayaks and cooking...

We woke up at 7:30 this morning to a beautiful day. Complete calm and about 80 degrees. First thought, load up the kayaks and head out for a little paddle. We headed to Owl Creek launch site, but being past dawn, the only parking left was for boat trailers. So, we headed for First Landing State Park. What a great place. One of the local secret spots, somewhat unknown to tourists. We launched the kayaks and headed into a channel that leads to Crystal Lake, surrounded by the multi-million dollar homes of Bay Colony. It was gorgeous. Calm water, no wind to speak of, and a nice paddle. Sorry, no pictures. We took a camera, but stored it the dry storage compartment. I wonder why we did that? (HaHa). Gail's camera still isn't working after our last trip / swim. We paddled for about two hours and covered approximately four miles.



After we came home and cleaned up the kayaks and ourselves, we headed out to WalMart to do some grocery shopping. Yes, I went to WalMart. When we got home it was time to start thinking about dinner. So......

What do you do on the Saturday before Labor Day when there are forecasts severe thunderstorms and you can't grill? Why stir fry, of course!

All the ingredients, ready to go......
Cooking in the wok.....
Ready to serve.....
Quick and easy, once all the prep is done.

We are hoping that the weather is as nice tomorrow so we can go for another paddle. It really feels good to get out and get some exercise since all of this week has been a bust. Between Gail working late and the threat of or actual rain, we didn't have a chance to even ride.
