Okay…that was NOT my first thought when I crashed in my kayak this morning.
I was just starting out- and I know to wait between sets of waves for the lull. However, this morning, the breaking waves weren’t cooperating…and I decided to forge ahead.
As I was paddling out, a large wave broke over my head and turned the boat sideways. I wasn’t in deep water yet, so I scraped along the bottom (did you know you can get really sandy while IN the ocean??) and ended up below the boat.
I knew I twisted my back when I tried to get up. Knew the boat hit my face, but didn’t feel the “egg” right away.  Briefly thought about setting the purple kayak free in the ocean 😉
So, I went home with a bruised ego (of course people on the beach were watching), sore back, scraped shoulder…and a very attractive black eye.
P.S. It’s been a full week since my kayaking mishap. My side is still a sore, and the black eye is fading to an ugly yellow (and can be partially disguised with make-up). The former hockey players in my office have no sympathy!
Taking a break from ocean kayaking for awhile…

The mind does not always remember how old the body is!! Feel better!
Did any of the people watching from the beach take pictures? LOL. Hope you are ok.
Hopefully, no pictures. This is my payback for posting your crash! Aspirin and ice are helping my back…but the black eye is here to stay 🙁
Hope you are feeling better Ann!
The black eye should make for a good story while visiting the granchildren
Nan is working the sympathy vote if it means a peaceful bedtime!
I hope you feel better.
Thanks!
