Adventures in the outdoors
A couple weeks ago I attended the Women on Water Paddling Festival (Part 1 located here) and if you have been following, this is part 2. It was now Sunday and I was continuing with the sessions and paddling fun. Today I was signed up for Kayaking play and self rescues, then a SUP tour in the afternoon.
This year I attended the Women on Water Festival that is hosted by Wild Women Expeditions and the Ontario Sea Kayak Center. This event sells out every year, so when I got the news that I was able to solidify a last minute cancellation I was elated. I have heard lots about this festival recently from my friend Christina, and I knew that I would enjoy it. With only a few days to pack and gather my items, I was one busy lady. The festival runs from Friday evening into Sunday afternoon. That means I had to leave right after work to make my 4+ hour drive to Parry Sound. I didn’t care because I was so excited.
Sometimes it’s hard to start a post…. this adventure was harder to start. I have been following many outdoor adventure enthusiasts for a while now, started this blog as I had the same passion, but I have been wanting something…. and it sparked with me that it was a solo trip. I have been talking about it online for quite some time, just needed to actually plan and push myself to do it. So, here it is! It is only a one-nighter….but I have a bigger trip planned for the beginning of summer.
We live in an area that has many places and things to see and do, so with the weather looking extremely beautiful the last weekend in May, we headed out to find some local tourist locations. The decision was made to take the canoe out for a paddle down in Wellington, and well, just see what would happen after that…
