7:17 Club canoe trip on the Fox River
7:17 Club went canoeing on Saturday. My head and feet are badly sunburned.
Half of the people on the river had a little too much to drink. There was this one girl on a raft who kept asking people if they liked fish. She would ask two or three times and then pull a dead catfish out of the water. It was hilarious and disturbing at the same time.
There was a pack of ATV riders who would ride out into the stream and harass the drunk canoers. They also went after KateD. The other person in her canoe behaved most shamefully during this incident.
I think that the trip was a success. We should go earlier in the year - when the water level is higher.

So, no mention of "alternate means of propulsion"?
You're right, it does bring out the worst in you. Regardless, it was fun and I eagerly await next year. Especially if the water is deeper...

Deeper water: all the better to test alternate means of propulsion :)
Alternate means of propulsion: def. Kneeling on the seat with one knee while using the other leg to push off from shallow water. It works quite well in shallow water. Unfortunately, there is a really good chance of tipping the canoe if you suddenly brake free of the shallow area.
The world has little to fear if that was the worst in me, eh? Hey, we did not shoot anyone (with airsoft) this year, and the barge people did not complain about harassment.
