Schrödinger's Kayak

It was so hot today.
Hot enough to do self-rescue in the Hudson.

We really just wanted to swim so it was all under the guise of swimming.

Friends don't let friends fall into the Hudson River alone....

I can officially self-rescue in three different boats!

Bitz wanted to swim laps with a kayak tied to her, so I made her job more difficult and got in the kayak.  She didn't even care. It was like I wasn't even in the kayak.  Was I in the kayak or not in the kayak?

We actually did learn something of value while swimming... Bitz was paddling around and Ed, Kedrin and I decided to hold on to her boat.  You know, to make her life easier. We basically formed a human chain holding onto the front of her kayak.

This is actually a rescue technique (for one person not three) where if you need to rescue someone they can hold the front of the boat with their legs and arms, kind of upside down, while you paddle them to safety.

After swimming training in the river, we sat at the boathouse "porch" to watch the sunset and all the dogs that come buy for pets and treats.
