#97 and #98... #97 was difficult as I had already been to cardio rehab that morning. #98 was a good, tough, honest paddling trip to the Breezy Point inlet.

#95 This was a good, tough upper-body workout into a breeze and a slight chop. I paddled to the first dock that juts out into the Bay at Breezy Point.

#93 On a day that discipline trumped enthusiasm, I paddled into a freshening breeze and chop down, almost to Breezy Point. I was feeling the burn in my arms!

#91 ... For the first time since my heart work, I got back out on the kayak. I quickly realized how much upper body strength and stamina I had lost in just a few months. That's OK. I'm back out there and I'll re-strengthen both.

#88 This was probably the coldest October sailing I have ever done! With a crew of 6, with me on main trim, we sailed out into the Bay, made the turn, and headed home in the dark. Did I say it was cold? It was!
