Kayaking Milford Sound

Today we kayaked Milford Sound!  I acted like the Princess of NZ by riding in the front of the guide's kayak. My job was to try not to flip the kayak, not get my cast wet and feed him my food frequently. The guide, Jack, was from San Diago and he was about 25 years old...Cute as a bug.

It was the best kayaking trip ever! "We" paddled from 10am-2:45. I realized that kayaking is a lot more fun if you don't have to do all that paddling.  The weather was gorgeous, sunny and warm. The fiord was spectacular. Sam was in another kayak with a friendly Frenchman (I know!)
I did feel bad when a young woman, Jo Marie from Phoenix , got sea sick and the guide told her to paddle harder to help her get over the nausea. I tried to look busy. She ended up being too sick to continue so a shuttle boat picked her and her new husband (honeymoon) up to get out of the water.  Poor kids. Oh well, back to being the Princess.

Jenny suggested that I should blog that a Dolphin jumped into my kayak, grabbed me by the cast and dragged me out to the sea. She said the followers may very well believe it coming from me!  After a shark was spotted. The guide told me that sharks can smell broken bones. Everybody is a comedian.

Tomorrow we head off to Doubtful Sound. We have an Overnight cruise through this fiord for 24 hours. It should be beautiful!  No hiking, biking or paddling required.

Thanks for following the blog!
