Paddleboarding in the Snow

It's been a few days since I've posted, and that's mainly because it snowed on the island, the winds have been light, and that is a perfect recipe for tranquility on the water... (water temp= 33, air temp=cold, windchill=colder, total=perfect!)

 Miscalculating the transport effectiveness of snow and watching in horror as the board slips rapidly into the water and begins to float away...

 Chasing the board down (thankful all the while for choosing the 6/5/4 wetsuit instead of the 3/2)...

Take 2, more graceful this time...
