Do not try to do fancy paddling in a backwards motion.
Your kayak will dump you out in the water slicker than snot on a doorknob.
You should really watch the video on the Internet half a dozen times. “How to get back into a kayak in the open water.”
You could try the old canoe trick to get some of the water out, even if it is futile.
You might just as well give up some days..because your Mother In Law will capture it all on film.
Two kayaks is definitely better than just one.
It promotes togetherness. I did notice that my daughter likes to use the paddle to lob water at her husband occasionally.
A family photo out on the water..this was my best shot.
Yup lessons learned, the boys were soaking it all in just like little sponges…the next time we go out we will do some practicing close to shore. We will practice getting in and out of a kayak in the open water. I have a Boating Safety book for the boys to read..and if they don’t read it by themselves..I will read it aloud to them, after all once they are out on the pontoon and we have left shore I have them trapped :)
Great shots, Connie! I love the first one, and it is amazing how quickly kids can learn these things, isn't it? Looks like everybody had fun!

ReplyDeleteOops! Looks as if they had fun anyway!
ReplyDeleteThat was great! But I think I will stick with my pontoon thank you very much! The hubby does want to get a canou though!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, That's a great photo of the family. Wishing you all a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny about reading the book. However, I get almost the same advice to mothers of preschoolers - - wait until they are strapped in a car seat or in a high chair.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. You could not pay me to try one of those.
ReplyDeletedid you try it?
