leong Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Today I paddled to Mar-a-Lago to meet Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. I was hoping to demonstrate bracing and rolling to Shinzo and his lovely wife. I usually make the Mar-a-Lago trip alongside the ocean beaches of Palm Beach Barrier Island, but today I took the inside route (between Palm Beach and the mainland) because of the strong winds. This is a pix of Trump Plaza as I passed by it in West Palm Beach. Here are a couple of pix of the stinkpots I passed. Some people are really into conspicuous consumption. Here’s a pix of Mar-a-Lago from about two miles away. As I headed towards shore this Coastie came out to greet me. He was unaware that I was on the way to meet the Japanese Prime Minister. He said I have two choices: 1. Stay far from shore or 2. He’ll try out his bow-mounted machine gun. I chose no. 1. However, there’s a beach on Southern Blvd. that connects the Mainland to Palm Beach and he said it was okay to paddle there. So I did. Here are a few pix of Mar-a-Lago taken near the beach on Southern Blvd. I had a super fast paddle home (wind and tide pushing me) averaged 6 knots over the 8 nautical miles. At the end of the trip I parked my kayak along side of my Sunfish. Oh, did I mention that I never met the Prime Minister.

lhunt Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Uh, but on the other hand, the Prime Minister never met you, either. Nice pictorial, Leon, thanks! -Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
