I went out this morning for a couple of miles on the lake – incredible. Headed east on the way home, glad for my baseball cap – the sun was SO warm and bright – the lake a mirror, I cranked up my iPod and had an excellent workout!  Stowed the SUP on the beach by the house, ran up the stairs for my coffee, and paddled out a ways to sit and have coffee on the still mirror lake.

Learning to do stretches with the kids at our 4H Surf Club in town. This 14 foot board borrowed from a neighbor is perfect for stability. I even took my wet suit booties off sitting on the board in a a current in the river . . .. Stretch, listen to the ipod, sip the java.

Practice the pop ups! Back to slowly drifting on my side of the lake.

Can’t seem to go inside – Maybe I’ll relax a lil longer.

Love late August and September on Devils Lake in Lincoln City!
