Beach Lake Kayak

Finally a nice calm day. I had to drive to Anchorage so took my kayak with me and stopped at Beach Lake on my way back. Bella and I had the whole lake to ourselves. It was so calm and warm, just a perfect day to do something totally relaxing. Well for me it was relaxing. I'm not quite sure what Bella really thinks about it. I think if she could speak she would say she'd rather be hiking. She was doing a lot of whining and barking at nothing. We passed a couple of submerged logs that were sticking out of the water. They had been there so long that substantial amounts of vegetation were growing on them. I pulled up beside each of them, and Bella hopped out onto them. She was still surrounded by water so I'm not sure she felt she had accomplished much. The second time we did that routine, she slipped into the water and got her back end wet. Of course, that meant she also got me wet as I pulled her back in. She wears a life jacket and I have her leash clipped into my life jacket, so she is never in any danger. She got quite vocal with a few ducks we saw on the water. We paddled the whole 2 mile perimeter of the lake. I enjoyed just peacefully paddling and not climbing some hard core mountain for a change.
