Looks like fun!

The first time I was ever on water in a canoe (never a kayak) was on a river in rapids. The last time I was ever on water in a canoe was on a river in rapids.

Yes. It was the same trip. Yes, It did rain. Yes, we did tip the canoe. Yes, we did have to call for a pick up before we finished. Yes. We did say it was because of the lightning. But Yes there really was lightening. The tour company had actually been trying to reach us to get us off the water anyway.

Watching your video reminds me I still want to go out again in calmer waters ... with no rocks.

You did just fine with the spray paint on the cow patty. Did definitely make me feel jealous !! Okay and inspired.

Do you know in the country there's cow patty flinging contests and there's usually a polishing contest at about the same time?

No I've not attended one. It's not even on my bucket list :-)
