...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?
