It wasn’t really a new hobby but rather return to an old one - I had recently semi retired before my diagnosis and had already returned to early morning body surfing/ swimming at the beach whenever I could - I really ramped it up after recovering from my surgeries.
I find it immensely restorative as well as being great exercise.
@arpie if you have not been to Lord Howe Island I can thoroughly recommend it - it is incredibly beautiful and has great walking , surfing, swimming, snorkelling and ( a special treat for you) fishing.
Most people get around on push bike if they are not walking.
There is a limit on the number of residents and visitors so nothing is crowded.
