I've never bothered to practice the dunking to see if I could get myself out, and I suppose I should do that, but if you're relatively comfortable around/in water, you'll probably pick it up quickly. I was very lucky to be introduced by a friend who had a double, so I had the security of her company and skills first time out. But I love having my own, paddling & steering for myself. We started our marriage with a canoe, which I found more challenging to steer, yet I wasn't keen on always being "under orders" . . . ;-)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-85936487253182837332012-09-05T19:22:47.869-07:002012-09-05T19:22:47.869-07:00Wonderful!

What a wonderful place to return to after a day of bustle filled with the bouquet of freshly-sharpened pencils. I heard that phrase about the love of autumn in the movie When You've Got Mail and loved it. But now I suppose it's the scent of what, hot wires and...? I'm curious what schools today smell of, apart from the students!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-9894702475824361992012-09-05T08:34:33.648-07:002012-09-05T08:34:33.648-07:00I didn't want to leave.

I do like to inhale that smoke!<br />My husband tried to get me Kayak lessons before we left, (since we own two) but I managed to be too busy. You do make it look fun...next summer.
