My First Paddle - Learning How to Canoe at 50! - I'm Canadian, I've got this...😆
After purchasing our first canoe in October 2021, we took it out for a paddle on the first sunny day later that month. I have been in a canoe a few times when I was a kid, but never really knew what I was doing.
This is the first time I have had any instruction on "how to canoe", and as usual, I can be a bit resistant to instructions at first....😆 But, I quickly relax and get the feel for things. Although this does not help my sense of direction or my capability of making a decision. Good thing we are on a small lake! 😁
In the end I had lots of fun and did learn a thing or two, thanks to my patient teacher. 😊 I am already looking forward to our next paddle and to see where our little canoe ends up along our Canadian journey. 🇨🇦
