If we slowed down at all, we lost ground and went backward. My arms were so wore-out when we reached the calm cove again.

The more I go out, the more I love doing it, especially going places where there are lots of coves and wildlife :) We'll be going back to this spot and packing a picnic to enjoy the sandy coves and do some swimming.
