Outrigger Canoeing, second outing

I went outrigger canoeing with the Pu Pu O Hawaii crew again on Sunday. I had always wanted to write my paddling experience as a poem, so here goes...

Arrive at Santa Cruz in the morning,
The air was cold, but the sun was shinning.
Launched the canoe with southwestern wind blowing,
Choppy seas did not stop us from paddling!

From the harbor we paddled into the sea,
Waving at boaters, surfers and everyone else we see.
The paddlers' faces were filled with glee,
Amazing weather we are all enjoying for free!

On this morning, our motion were spot-on,
Our reach were long,
Our strokes were strong.
Canoe glided with otters and dolphins swimming along.

On the way back, we rode the waves,
A little energy we all saved.
Around us the sea raved,
Time on water time I still craved!

Aerial Yoga


I am not a yogi.
