RE: Impromptu Photo Shoot @ Fort Loudoun Lake

in Pinmapple3 years ago

Hello stranger! So good to see you both out and about. That looks like my kinda lake! Now all you need a is a stand up paddle board. I reckon you could figure it out and be out there paddling pretty fast. The main tip is that when you feel like falling over you need to paddle harder!!! I hope the weather stays that gorgeous - or does it turn into a serious winter???

After our rainy weekend I’m still dreaming of sunshine but it may take another month before we can actually feel it. (She’s says while sitting next to the fire to stay warm.)

Hope you’re both well!!! Sending love from Africa….

And hello to you too.

They do a weird thing here where the weather changes four times, they call it season 4 or something like that. It gets hot, then cool, then freezing, then warm, then hot again. I'm not used to that.

Paddle boards look like a good time. They kinda require two good wheels though, could you imagine?? But we do need to get into kayaking or something. If we could ever just learn how long we're gonna be here.

Thank you Zo3d.

Oh don’t be too quick to dismiss the paddle boarding!!! I’ve seen it done on our waterfront canal with 1 good wheel and a little help.

But kayaking is a great option too. Less likely to get wet. Although everybody falls off paddle boards in the beginning so you’d be in good company.

Cape Town is definitely one of those cities that has 4 seasons in a day. Everyone here carries layers because the weather can change really quickly. But at the moment Spring is just too cold. I’m getting IMPATIENT!

You're familiar with this then. It's not just normal but absolutely common to be at the pool at 9am, thunder and lighting between noon and 3, blue skies until 5, "aerial flood" at 7:30, stars and clear sky by 10.

I had to google "aerial flood."

YES!!!! But don’t know what an aerial flood is 😳.

Our equivalent would be:
Morning at the beach, Gale force south easterly at noon, afternoon showers followed by a gorgeous sunset.

According to the interweb thingy it's when a slow and steady fall of light rain continues for hours or even days or worse. "Aerial flood."
