This afternoon I had work off, so I decided to take my sit-on-top ocean kayak out for a spin. I have to drag it about a quarter mile to get to the water, but it's over a flat stretch of public land, so not a huge deal. The sun was shining and there was a just enough of a breeze to keep cool but not get the water all choppy. Once I got to the water, I paddled out about half a mile from shore, laid back, and let the waves rock me. After a few minutes of not hearing anything but the wind and the water, I sat up, looked around and, seeing nobody, decided to strip down and tan. Someone on their balcony with binoculars could have easily seen me, but I figured it was hardly indecent exposure if I was a mile away....
I'd never just stripped off in broad daylight like that before, but it was really relaxing. Nice to feel the wind on my body and to take off my wet trunks. I paddled around like that for about half an hour, just enjoying being there. Since it was hot, and like an idiot, I hadn't brought sunscreen, I threw my clothes back on so I wouldn't burn, and headed back inshore. I think I'm going to make a more regular thing of this, and maybe see if the girlfriend wants to join in. I really enjoyed it.
Just thought I'd share...
