greenstormSo I really like my coworker -- he's the one I called and talked to for an hour before deciding I was taking this job -- and he lives on the lake. My work is also on the lake. Yesterday was good sailing weather, so he invited me to drive up to his place and boat back to work over lunch. He has something like twenty boats, many are various styles of, I don't know, outrigger kayaks or catamarans, and non-motorized. This one was a two person sit-on-top style kayak with pedals that could be clipped in, a sail that was clipped on, and two stabilizers with netting between them.
We had a leisurely sail-assisted paddle to work, and then because we'd mixed up the logistics of biking/driving we paddlesailed back to his place after work (the plan had been for him to bike back and pick up my truck on his break, but anyhow). It was really lovely, moderate warm sun, cool breeze, warm water. He knew the history of all the houses and people along the waterfront as we went past. Pedaling a boat, unlike a bike, doesn't require a certain speed or power to avoid falling over and there are no hills, so I was able to keep up a slow steady pace for the hour each way.
I do not in any way regret it but I am completely exhausted today, back to too tired to breathe, and I have fieldwork today. Hopefully I make it through. It's not a solo field day, so that's good, and I can nope out and nap in the truck if need be. I do need to get feed, and tomorrow I have pottery after work. Hopefully the not-regretting continues.
