Another hot and sunny day, we were a bit undecided about where to go. Berga was off and we left it a bit late to post a message on the Parapent Girona mailing list to coax other people out. We also want to spend the hot weather doing things we can’t do the rest of the winter, i.e. do stuff in water. The plan was to go to our favourite snorkeling bay near Roses, but there was persistent sea fog at the coast. The forecast said it would burn off, but by 12 noon it hadn’t so we went to the gorge at Sadernes instead with the inflatable canoe we have borrowed from Wayne. We want to check it out on calm waters and on the sea before buying some for ourselves.
It was great fun, paddling around the little lake and upstream (not that that’s very far). It was so hot I went swimming several times to cool off.

good to see you,ve got the canoe out, you forgot to put the underskin on in all the excitment didnt you??!!
looks like a lovely place..may be next time.:-)
Au contraire, my friend. It was in its protective jacket while I pumped it up, but then I couldn’t get it out to put it in the water. So I had to deflate it again, take it out, place it on the skin, pump it up again. Surely you don’t leave the skin on when you paddle? Ooops.
the skin stays on in the water!!!thats the point!!to protect it from sharp rocks!hahahaha
glad you enjoyed it!
No wonder you never got anywhere in the canoe! Think of the drag! We went in the sea today. Pics to follow.
