So sorry about not updating daily I've been busy traveling.
Anyway I was at flat head lake earlier and I got to paddle board and kayak, I have done it before but never with as much freedom as I had.
I was getting more and more comfortable with the paddle board glad the hours passed by and finally I decided to stand up on it. I stood up fine, didn't fall right away so I thought that was a good start.
Soon I decided to leave the little dock area we were at and paddle around the lake.
I was staying pretty close to the shore line but far enough away that my feet wouldn't touch the bottom when I started to lose my balance.
I knew the fall was coming but I couldn't stop it and faster then I could register I was under water.
The first thing I did was grab my sunglasses that had fallen off when I hit the water because by god those sunglasses where new and I was not going to lose them. The. Went I got up to the surface I swam towards my board and held on so I could catch my breath.
Of course as I was sitting there only one thing was going through my mind "in shark movies the paddle boarders always goes first." Now I am aware there are no sharks in flat head lake but it was enough to put me a little on edge.
I moved my self towards the shore a little bit to help turn my self around when my mind remembered that people have drowned here. I've seen enough crime shows to know there is a possibility of floating detached limbs in lakes that seem fine at first glance. With that in mind I got up on my board and did not look down at the water until I was all the way back to our dock .
