twinned with trumpton

By MrFT

And onto the maiden voyage of the paddle board, under the watchful eye of Granton's premier seafaring resident. And ayephone. Who stuck up an extra of the boarder.

She arrived; got kitted out and off we sauntered with the board; inflated it; stuck the fins on and gently shoved Her off into the sea. (I had rolled up my trouser legs to show willing; but forgot the neoprene booties; feck, it were cold on the toes!)

She did a couple of laps on Her knees; came back into shore to stand up; fell off; went back out and a friendly swimmer held the board in deeper / flatter water and that was it! Like a duck to water. All that was left for me to do was take photos a plenty, and hope there was at least one comic mishap to capture for posterity; but none was forthcoming. A success, then.

Home, heat up, and a return to town to cook dinner; salmon and broccoli pasta. (I'll add extras in due course, of course)
