Well tomorrow is a big day, Nicole and I are going kayaking on the Etowah River from Euharlee to the bridge at 411. So I went to Piedmont and rented the sit on tops and got home with them about 6:30. Between thunderstorms tonight Nicole and I took one to her friend's pool to practice getting in and out of them in deep water. Tomorrow when we are on the river with a bunch of other river rats, we didn't want to take a spill and look like complete idiots if we took a spill in front of other people.
We did pretty well. I did turn mine back over several times trying to get back on because I weigh a lot more than the last time I got in a boat in the middle of the lake! Nicole was like an otter! She just slid back in. I feel a lot better now than I did before I practiced. When I was young I was just like Nicole and could slip right over the side. It took quite a bit of effort to haul this big old bottom in the boat but I did it! While I was paddling around the pool, Nicole curled up under the front of the boat and let me paddle her some too. Before you know it she had slipped her leg up on top of the boat and was sitting in front of me. She's so little she didn't even rock the boat.
There's still some kick in this old girl yet. Just Living Life, ain't it a hoot?
