I really appreciate that I can walk or ride my bike to the lake and then go for a paddle or a sail, add another coat of varnish to the bright work of my boats, and enjoy the sunset over the city with a drink in my hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_2361-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_2361-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_2361-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_2361-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_2361-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mm.kapn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/img_2361-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a little time over coffee this morning to flip through the latest Paddling Magazine.
