Lake

to get in our mileage we(that's me and Eli)decided to kayak on the flooded lake. It's 10.8 feet above the norm. And so we were in the creek well creek is not big enough...river that's it so any way we were up the creek with our paddles. When i got snagged on a bramble and I went over with no skirt and for you non kayaking types a skirt is something that covers the hole that you sit in so I'm in the water kicking and flailing and then...i could touch. And Eli comes back cuz he was in front and so i got on his kayak and we locamotived back half of the way back. By the way we had all of our dogs with us and to those who don't know it thats three dogs and two kids and we were dragging a swamped kayak i was kicking and Eli was paddling. So half way back we over balanced we went "splash" so i came up first and then Eli and we looked around two sec. later Roger! one of our dog's was still under the kayak!!! but before i could blink Eli had gotten roger out. He is never coming on water again but still we had two swamped kayaks and two kids of course we swim back to the docks.

  1. It sounds like the both of you remained calm under less than ideal conditions. Good for you!
