Memorial day stereotype || Mon., May 26, 2008

Soooo... of all 365.25 days a year, what day is the most common boating day? What? Memorial Day? How could I have forgotten. Why would I pick this day to be the day to take Bailey out on a lake (i.e., flat water) in the kayak (vs. tons of motorboats) for the first time? Because she wanted to :)

It neared catastrophe as Bailey freaked out in the first few minutes, but we tied her yak to mine and started out. Within a few yards, she was already begging for more motorboats to make more and bigger waves. We went from the swimming area at Fort Loudon State Park (where the big actual (replica) fort is) around the peninsula to the fort and back. Good times, especially when we came back and Myers had a turn as my co-pilot.

Exact quote from Myers when we first turned toward open water: "whoa. cool."
