Midnight at the Nueces
Had a fun kayak/fishing weekend with friends on the Nueces River near Camp Wood, Texas. I got to try out my new kayak, "La Chalupa", a Wilderness Tarpon 10.
"La Chalupa" is one of the cards in the game of Loteria-usually depicted as a young lady in a canoe full of flowers. DH got me the decal Very cute. The boat is easy to paddle. We did a very nice 3-mile stretch of the Nueces with small rapids and ripples. Just about my speed. The group went back in the afternoon and did the same stretch again, while I watched from the bank. My wrist was tired, although it is coming back well. Of course, I fell into the water getting into my boat right at the beginning, not a good sign, but I stayed in after that.
Of course, we were playing farkle at midnight (and beyond)-a popular dice game. Sunday DH and I did some fly fishing. I caught 0 and lost 2 flies. DH caught a monster bass and tiny perch. A relaxing and fun weekend.
