If anyone knows me very well, they will know that I've been in a rut for lack of a better word. Maybe slump or rollercoaster would best describe it. I decided there was a few things I needed to change and the easiest one to start with would be getting rid of the net and getting active again, in a physical sense that is. So number one thing is the net is going, I've talked to the company and they are cutting it off before I get billed again as I was a day late this last time.
So the blog will get neglected unless i'm over at friends and using there's sometime. I'll still use my phone to check hotmail and facebook messages though. Well the next thing was to get out of the house instead of just working, eating, sleeping and playing on the net or watching tv. I've always liked Kayaking, we used to have a couple that we would use down at Pops River flats, and sometimes we'd float on down to Dynans bridge for fun. We used to have lots of fun, I remember mum getting into a kayak one day, when we were going on a trip and in the flattest water you could find, she tipped straight on back out :) haha, (sorry mum, just had to share that)

I decided it was time to get into it again, Sydney is just surrounded by water and there's lots of places to paddle, so for the last few months I've been looking for a kayak to buy. I'm pretty fussy when it comes to buying something, I have to have something that I like, or I'll just keep looking and looking.
I probably spent a little more than I should have, but I got one I like and am planning on spending alot of time on water exploring places.
The Gorgeous Nepean river, just down at Penrith
One hazard of kaying here, was all the boats, there were over 20 cutting around at various times especially as it was 42 here in Penrith today.
The local paddle boat
I kept to the speed limit and kept it under 4 knots. lol
just kicking back and relaxing and letting the river take me on down, while I check out the scenery
Soon I'm going to do the proper trip and head right up into the gorge and the return which is 6 hours.
There's so many places to be discovered, so it's adios for the time being

It looks really cool on your car Chrish, but ORANGE please!!!
And a great big thank you for telling everyone about what a wonderful athlete I am.
Glad to see you out and about again.
Remember to slip, slop, slap. and another thing tell people where you are going and when you expect to get back.
The Fat Man told me you rang him today to tell him about the kayak, at conference tonoght.
Love Mum. xxx
Looks like great fun chrish. I reacon you should take it under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Mum is pretty funny in a kayak going round and around in circles. I bet you chuckle about that all the time.
Good on you Chrish!! Glad you are doing something to not feel so blah. Does anyone else up there have a kayak that you go with, or you just go on your own? Would be very therapeutic I would think - nice and relaxing checking out the scenery.
Don't get sunburnt!
all ya need now is a good spinning rod to catch plenty of fish, good on you Chrish it would be alot of fun
I think that's the best pursuit ever! Bring it the Kayak up and try the Hawkesbury near us. I reckon it would be awesome :)
Just a question!!
How did you take the photo of yourself in the kayak.?
Love Mum.

Wow - what a great way to spend your spare time! The river looks stunning - what a great spot. Is it far from where you are? Good to see your Mum and Lisa are worried about you getting sunburnt!

There's nothing wrong with a orange Kayak, especially with all the traffic on the water.
This river is just 10 minutes from here Kylie, it's a nice spot.
