I completed my first trip around the 3 islands (Otsu, Kurokami, and Sen Islands) for a total of 17 miles in about 5 hours. Talk about hard, my back was sore for two days. Also, I’m noticing my anxiety about distance is not as pronounced. What I mean is that when you see your destination which is often very far away and covered in a layer of fog, you know it will take hours to get there and grow anxious about the trip. I was able to focus on the paddle stroke and realize every stoke moves me a few feet towards my goal.
