Pleasant Paddle with Kayaker

I had an afternoon paddle today, meeting up with Dan Thaler, a kayaker I know. I meet him at Annsville Creek. He was on a gorgeous wooden kayak he had made himself. We chatted and I enjoyed thoroughly having some company for a change.

Dan has a workshop in his basement where he makes these kayaks. This is part of a basement business of his called Moonlight Marina. I wish I had those kinds of skills.

The two of us paddled around Fish Island, then headed back to Peekskill. As I disembarked, Dan took this picture:

Yet the story isn't over. This evening I was perusing the Peekskill NY in Pictures Facebook page and I saw someone had posted this picture with the caption “Only in Peekskill”:

Hilarious! That made my day! It's a funny string too, especially after I posted, “Hey, that me!” What's cool too is that I so rarely get pictures of me paddling because I'm usually alone. Today I got two from different sources.
