My Second Try in a Canoe!

Yesterday, I went with my homeschooling group for another lesson in a canoe. We went to Chorlton Water Park and had a full hour's lesson on the water. This time, we managed to travel right around the lake, which was absolutley great! At one stage, we were asked to try standing up in the canoe which wasn't too bad - I also volunteered to travel from the middle of the line of canoes to the end by walking along the floating canoes. That was when things went a bit wrong and I fell into the lake again! Luckily, I got a "lift" part way back to the shore by one of the instructors - I then had to swim onto dry land!

I think my friend, Joanna (who was not allowed to canoe on the lake because she was too young), had the right idea! She kept to dry ground the whole time!

I saw that first picture and thought we had our first confirmed Nessie sighting. Glad you're okay.

Fun! There's a Boy Scout canoeing badge -- the most popular requirement is the part where you have to swamp the canoe and then right it and get back in. Want to be friends?
