Kayaking in January???

The last couple weeks in LA have been absolutely beautiful.  The skies have been clear, the temps are in the mid 70's to low 80's, and there is no sign of it changing anytime soon.  Did I mention it is January??? That being said, I have been trying to take advantage of this weather as best as I can.

This past Sunday, I was invited to go kayaking down in Redondo Beach.  It is one of my favorite places to go and is always a good time.

When I pulled into the parking lot, I was told my friend was going to be a little late.  So, I grabbed my camera and went on a walk around the marina.

I don't know what it is about the site of boats that make me so excited. I am not a huge fan of riding in boats nor do I wish to own a boat.  I just like to look at them! As you can imagine, the marina was packed full of big boats to little boats...sail boats to paddle boats and sport cruisers to luxury yachts. They were all embossed with unique names giving them their own identity  This was my favorite: "LA WOMAN." 

Before heading back to the docks, I had to take one more picture of the raft in the middle of the water. If you look closely, you will see all the seals sunbathing.  When my friend finally arrived, we made it a point to kayak out to the raft so we could watch them closer.  They were so cute! 

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. We ended up kayaking for a couple hours  before calling it a day. The water was so calm and crystal clear.  I have to make it a point to go kayaking more this year.  It not only is a good for your soul it is an amazing work out!
