Those open kayaks that Brian has are really hard to tip over. He did try to climb in with both of us a couple of times, but with the handle on the life jacket, we just lean in the opposite direction, and, it seems to work out!

I think it'll just take him some practising to realize what we're doing and what's expected out of him, as far as kayak etiquette.

I really want to look into getting a canoe, as it would be a lot roomier for he and I to boat. But, he's just such a freak, it'll be awhile, I think, before I can trust him to stay in the boat when I ask him to.

We did a couple of times...it's funny, he doesn't slow down at all when you grab the jacket, either...

Wow he must be a really strong swimmer!

did he stay clear of the paddles when you paddled along too?
or did you accidently boink his noodle a few times? LOL

he didn't stay clear all the time, but, i would just lift the paddles up...on the way out there, he was all over the place, and, kept swimming in front of the kayak, and, would make the kayak turn as he would turn around, it was funny. on the way back, though, he got the hang of it, and mostly stayed just far enough away.

I don't know why, I was thinking that, too...it wasn't that cold, though. It wasn't bath water like it gets sometimes, but, it wasn't that cold. I think it was just that it was getting a bit dark outside, and, the camera isn't the best either that we used.
