My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

My self care motorcycle and photography adventure

After dreaming about it for more than 25 years but putting it off to keep others happy, at the end of last year I finally got my motorcycle licence and a bike.

After a most relaxing ride this afternoon I thought this would be a good idea for a thread as it is most definitely part of my self care strategy.

I'm sure anyone who has ridden a bike will understand what I mean 😁

Until today my rides have been just that, rides. I tried it out this afternoon and want to allow more time for stops and enjoy another self care activity. Photography. If I can share some of those photos then maybe others can enjoy the ride with me 😊

Spent the day out in the boat today. Left home while everyone was still sleeping and got home in time to take boys out for regular weekly activity.

As a bonus bagged enough fish to feed the family for tonight.

Quite peaceful until the jet skis arrived.

Thankfully they moved on soon enough.

Water police need to come on down and enforce the holiday speed limit.

Another family day out in our boat today.

All went smoothly which I am most grateful for as it often ends with melt downs and tantruims. It was a most relaxing day

We are so blessed to be able to access areas like this.

Children were delighted when a large dolphin came alongside the boat.

I was less than delighted when everyone ran to that side of the boat while we were moving lol. (Small boat doesn't take much to unbalance particually when moving). It was nice seeing the children's excitement though.

It was nice @Shaz51

I am a bit weary after a 4am start to the day but it was worth it. Went out with my brother for some reef fishing. (Only go out in sheltered waters I'm my boat). Only caught a small happy moment fish. Aparently the wind was blowing the wrong way and that affects how the fish feed.

A planned motocycle adventure with my mum has been postponed due to forecast wet weather.

Not that I am complaining about the rain, we need it. particually in the areas that the proposed rout travels through.

(The round trip depending on time management during the day will be between 6-800 km).

I am also hoping to participate in a large group ride for mental health awareness in March.
(@Former-Member hoping it is ok to talk about that given it is in every state and in multiple locations for each state and on hte same day so anonymity should not be an issue).

It will be a great way to meet new people, experience a guided tour through new country (for me) while raising money and awareness for a great cause.
