it's morning, time to get paddling!
Aug. 28th, 2023 07:12 amGot the day off from work, headed out for a morning paddle on the river with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
starandrea. The rest of our summer paddling adventures so far have been in the afternoon/evening, so this one is Extra Adventure!
My essentials for paddling:
*Snack
*Beverage
*Phone (in waterproof bag -- seriously, I've haven't dropped it in the water yet, and now I'm POSITIVE that the one time I skip putting it in the case will be the day it happens)
And a pfd, because I read that the biggest danger from winding up in the water isn't whether or not you can swim, but the fact that it's such a shock, and I was like 'let me consider my absolutely STELLAR (not at all, actually) immediate reactions in startling situations' and that convinced me that I should not only have a pfd with me, but wear it. Possibly all the time, honestly, on or off the water. You never know when you might need one!
