Going canoeing tomorrow if the weather permits. Have you ever gone canoeing?

Oh, we had crafting, but I would've happily crafted all day. Maybe I'd take a break for archery... we didn't have horseback riding - tho they have since added it at the camp. I rather surprised the teacher in my college archery class at how well I strung and shot a bow.

That's cool. I surprised myself when I found out I can shoot left-handed when for years I couldn't hit anything right-handed. Found out by accident. Take care and thanks.

Our camp had both. I was a counselor and had to learn how to canoe. We canoed mornings and crafted in the afternoons. Take care

On a day when the water is calm, there are no bumps. You're floating and gliding. On a day where there are waves, you ride the waves up and down. Bumps come on motor boats cutting through waves. Reason why I can't ride in my brother's motor boat very often or for very long. I find riding in a canoe easier on my back than riding in a car or walking. Row boats are even better because of the broader base. Not sure about Kayaks, haven't been in one yet. Want to try that next. The guy who goes with me canoeing, he has a bad back and I'm coming back from a car accident from Aug. 10, 2008. Still love peddle boats. Not sure if that position would go well with my lower back. They're expensive and can't go as many places as Kayaks and canoes, but they are one heck of a workout. If I had my own pond, supper-large one, I would canoe or Kayak one day and then peddle the other. Upper and lower body workouts alternating. I think sailing is really, really cool. Was a passenger once, really like floating amoung the clouds, but I was a passenger, I think if I was running one and had to keep track of everything, it would be a pain. Take are and thank you very much for your response.

The rain we have been having lately has been coming down in sheets and accompanied by thunder and lightening. If it was just sprinkling or light drizzle, that would be fine, but not the stuff this year. I went to Alaska on a cruise through the inside passage, went to the islands along it and Juno was our last stop and our only mainland tour. Beautiful up there. I hear one airport had an animal run going through it. Take care and thanks for responding.

I hope you get to go canoeing some day. My friend owns the canoe, so I only have to come up with the lifejacket. Last year, I had a car accident, the week after my canoeing, otherwise, health would have gotten in my way, too. I hope it doesn't rain like it has been, it's included thunder and lightening.
