I am not sure this can be called revalidation !

After 4 weeks I am still feeling the recovery of my lower back is progressing. I am not completely there yet, but able to function more or less normal again.
Today I felt the urgent need to start kayaking again; in a more serious trip then the one at last sunday. :wink:

Coming at the club everybody was or looking football at television athome or out paddling. So I took the most stable kayak from my collection, an old Fjord from P&H, (just in case; you never know what will happen "backwise") and set out at the Alkmaardermeer.

Is this revalidation or what is it? The wind blows at least with 6Bft. and is pushing me sometimes at great speed along the waves.
Regarding the stability of my kayak this feels very, very relaxed.

What about the returntrip? I was wondering while surfing.

I was happy to have a wingpaddle in my hands as these paddles allow paddling against these winds ""without much effort"".Just trying to keep paddling in a very relaxed and elastic way: imagining that I am not using any power at all against the wind.
Doing so I was very happy all went very well,progressing more than I expected.

For the last 2 km's I found company in 3 clubmembers, just returning from a longer trip. I was even able to increase my speed a little; just feeling some minor muscles twitching a bit.
SO; everything will be allright - I think - I hope ; in some time.

Details: 7,5 km ; 6+Bft wind
