Ocean Kayak


I went for a long ocean kayak today to one of the deserted islands close to here. Its a good feeling to be on the turquoise crystal clear Caribbean. At one point on the journey i look out to the horizon, nothing but water all around me, from the kayak its a humbling point of view, and i thought of those Polynesian mariners who had navigated vast stretches of the Pacific by the stars in their outrigger canoes carved from tree trunks. The things we do to discover what's over the there, over the horizon. I also realised that they were very fit, it is a great upper body workout.
