PADDLEBOARD: Monroe Harbor (maiden voyage)

First time out on a paddleboard… spent a lot of time sitting down, then on my knees, then getting my sea legs. I guess I could get used to this? Was glad to have a tutorial from a coworker with a lot more experience, but it’s also pretty intuitive if you’ve spent some time on the water paddling other stuff. Tooling around in by the slips and shoreline, and past the Chicago Yacht club is a nice relaxing change of pace from wrangling tourists in ‘yaks on the river, and I got to even out my tan a bit (from the weird curved thighs-up only tan you get in a sea kayak). Looking forward to getting better at this and taking people out for tours!
