Song of the paddle...

Checked out my canoe today and apologised to it for last year. With a combination of technique and determination I managed to persevere until last year getting her on and off my car and into the water but last summer I finally got to the point where it was beyond me...so she's had along dry time of it. Once in the water she becomes a floating wheelchair, only a lot more supple, fast and graceful than anything on wheels...but I've got to get her there first. I've almost sold her a couple of times but I just couldn't bring myself to. This year I've got a promise from a friend to help me out when she goes canoeing so hopefully this year will be different.
