Farewell, Little Blue

I returned "Little Blue" to the store today. It just didn't work out between us. She was too hard to control, and I like being in control! It made me very sad to drive across the Agate Pass bridge and gaze into the perfectly calm water, knowing that I could be out enjoying it if it weren't for the fact that I had to drive two hours round trip to Tacoma to return a faulty kayak. At least I had Saturday's General Conference sessions on my ipod to listen to during the trip. And when I got to the store and explained the reason for my return, the man confirmed my suspicions that "Little Blue" is indeed a difficult kayak to control. Other customers have had the same problem. It made me feel so much better to know that I really don't have a kayaking handicap. Hopefully the weather will stay beautiful and calm so the Fantastic Four can go out tomorrow and re-attempt to conquer Agate Passage.
