a beautiful morning spent paddling in the detroit canals and on the river
not long after
we began this perfect day
it looked as though we’d been traversing the atlantic for weeks
having weathered the storms, sea, sharks, pirates, and the slightly bigger boats
catching rainwater in our hoods
eating our last pack of dry ramen
thanks, for the adventure, friends
best day ever!

That’s a great thing to do. I rarely venture on water, as I can’t swim.
Best wishes, Pete.

Oh….sounds like an adventure, indeed. I don’t know why, but the ‘dry ramen’ really conveyed the potential for a calamity! 😜

Almost looks like my view of the Ohio River but no canoes there. Lots of cruise boats like the old paddle-wheelers and motor boats, but too contaminated for canoes and kyacks.

If I’m on the water, that boat needs to be bigger than that. Kayaks and I don’t work out well. One time I rented a row boat for me and my older boys, I wound up not getting far and rowing in circles.

I spent a lot of time paddling a canoe one summer, and I imagine paddling a kayak is easier and much more fun. With more people, even better!
