Puddle Jumper

We pushed and pulled Tony’s boat into the lake and I took the first lap around the pond. Himself pushed me off and called after, if you see water coming in, check the drain plug! Now I am not comfortable IN WATER so that made my heart pound hard for a bit but as I didn't see any water rushing in, I relaxed and tried my hand at paddling a flat bottom fishing boat. Using two mismatched paddles, I’m sure it was rather comical to watch me paddle and wigwag my way around the small pond. I finally got in a sort of rhythm and paddling as one might a canoe, I managed to manuever here and there. LJ came and jumped in after a bit (literally! and rocked the boat) and between the two of us, each with one paddle, we made our way around again. It will be nice on cool summer mornings to take my coffee out in the boat and drift in the cool morning air.
