The cruising community in La Paz celebrates the end of the cruising season with an annual Bay Fest: games, food, wine tasting, and seminars. I attended a beading class, a card making class, and a pressure cooking seminar. Alan opted to focus on the Backwards Kayaking Race.
It was an intense competition--4 other adults--most of whom had probably NOT kayaked forward -- much less backward-- in a few years. Alan kayaked over from the marina and figured out his technique. And when race started he was on his game. He squirted out from the start line, made it past the Mexican flag mark, and was back to the beach before most of the others had gotten going in a straight line.
And for all his effort: a bottle of tequila, a T shirt, and Bay Fest bragging rights!
