If canoes tip, so do kayaks.

I went kayaking today for the first time ever. I picked it up fairly easily, but it is quite different from canoeing in one very obvious way; in a canoe you can put your weight into your rowing. In a kayak, with your centre of gravity at the bottom of the boat, you do not dare put any weight in any direction other than the center.

We have not done a lot of work today at the cottage, which is an unusual thing - we usually work quite hard. But we’ve only just come into the good weather, with it having been a very wet spring until now. So we wasted the day away on the jet ski, the kayak, and jumping off the dock.
