After being back for a few weeks, I was finally able to make it back down to the Special for some big water play. It was great to get back on the wave and have some relaxing island dwelling with some friends. After a full day of work, I cruised down to Steve’s island and floated downstream for a sunset session on the Special. The next day consisted of chilling in the hammock, fishing for our 6 kg Nile Perch lunch, kayaking, and coming back to Jinja to organize for Timmy’s Biathlon Island Bender on Saturday.
The biathlon bender was a great hit. It started with a day 2 trip down to Steve’s island; we had 2 rafts, plenty of kayakers, and any other type of watercraft found at the Jinja market (i.e. inflatable dolphin or whale). We had some good laughs on the river, then arrived at Steve’s island for a few rounds of croquet, swimming, and plenty of laughs and boos. As we watched the sunset, we all packed up for a quick float down to the Hairy Lemon for round two of the bender. I put on my dancing shoes and had a good time.
Now I am back to work. It was good to get away for a long weekend of distraction. Hopefully more time will come soon.
