Wish I had no "To do"...

Look at this sky! I visited a gentleman for a certain meeting here. I just wanted to cancel all my appointment, instead wished to go sailing, for example, to Itsukushima (Miyajima)!
I was depressed for my punctured SUP board & sudden cancellation of the race course check in advance...
The gentleman, a sailor kindly offered as much information as he could. Also, my SUP coach kindly sent me a message asking whta's up with my SUP board.
Fortunately I could finish my paperwork in the morning, so I drove & had belated lunch at my favourite isolated beach.

Bridal photo again as I thought... I can imagine it would happen on such a beautiful day. They looked happy, I can still wish them lucks, but for me, embarrassing a little.
One of my friends I met at a seminar contacted me. He was biking around there, so told him to come.
I totally forgot I had been depressed while he's talking totally different story about his own business, and I enjoyed both listening and asking him some questions.

Found a paddler approaching to the beach! "I like it much better than the bridal!"
By meeting & talking with my friend, my worries about SEA TO SUMMIT disappeared, I think.
I am not able to paddle before the race. Please tell me how I can be confident enough without practice...if only you know. I'm not an optimist or pessimist. I can never be optimist with no evidence.
All I can do for now is to design both the course & time looking at the map! (Special thanks for it, the gentleman!)
Hope my strategy will work well.
