Now, if he is trying to sell me on the idea of kayaking, he picked a pretty crappy day to do it on. The first mistake being it was over 100 degrees out. Then he thinks it's brilliant to put me in a canoe with the 8 year old. I've never rowed a boat. I'm not the most savvy outdoors girl there is. But sticking me with a 50lb 8 year old is a sure fire way to guarantee I'm not getting too far. We end up rowing in circles over and over again. Eventually I give up, fling the paddle aside, and sing Row Row Row Your Boat while simultaneously praying a big gust of wind pushes us back to shore. By the time we got back to the dock I was exhausted and soaked from sweat. This is not an adventure I would like to repeat on a weekly basis, that's for sure!
Have you ever been kayaking? Canoeing? Is there much of a difference between the two? Is one easier than the other?
