For some reason I really enjoy Kayaking in the fog...and there is often a lot of fog when the temperature changes over at my parents summer place where I am staying for the summer.
Today was a day full of fog and this happens a lot when the water is warmer than the air. I went in the kayak a couple of weekends ago in the fog too for fun and just had a blast.
There is just something peaceful and cool about kayaking in fog. It's cool not being able to see more than 100-200 yards from you.
I feel like I kayak mostly for a workout, rather than to relax, even though kayaking started as just a way to relax. Anyway today, I decided to relax a bit...after kayaking for a workout...and just enjoyed paddling around the small islands in our small lake/big pond. I don't really know how to describe it, but I just enjoyed it and for some reason the fog added to my enjoyment.
I enjoy kayaking the most when it's either really hot, with the sun beating down on me and the water splashing and cooling me off, or in the fog. Perfect running weather is probably 60-67 to me. On the bike my idea of perfect weather changes dramatically. On the bike it needs to be dry (so my bike doesn't get wet) and hot and possibly really humid. I don't enjoy cycling as much when it's below 70. I'm usually happy with everything warmer than that, even extreme heat if I have plenty of water. 75-80 is probably ideal for biking.
