...cannot paddle an open canoe anymore, and we sympathize.  But gee-zeus, don't you ever get tired of rationalizing away yer inadequacies?  Let's try to raise yer self-esteem a little; repeat after me:


"It's OK to be a kayaker."

"I don't HAVE to disparage open boats to respect myself."

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with using two blades and a skirt if I really NEED them."

"I am NOT a girly-man just because I paddle a lady's boat."

"Eventually MOST open-boaters will get so old they'll need a kayak, as I do."

"Off the river, pod-people are just as good as REAL boaters.  Mostly.  Sometimes."


See?  Don't you feel better now?
