Canadian transport
At the weekend I finally went canoeing in Canada!!! I’ve been here all this time and it is one thing I have never done.
In Scotland I went canoeing and kayaking fairly regularly but never in Canada, the home of the boat you can carry.
Vanessa and I took some sea kayaks out on English Bay and around the edge of Stanley Park. The water was fairly calm and the trip was a nice way to cool down from the heat of the sun. Wake from one boat nearly sent us to the bottom. Vanessa (who was at the front of our double kayak) took the brunt of the three waves which then filled out boat. Fortunately we had a pump so spent the next 15 minutes bailing ourselves out.
Other than that it was relaxing, uneventful and just what was needed. It was a great way to see the city, Stanley Park the beaches around English Bay and also the wildlife (harbour seals in the water).
I’m looking forward to a more activity filled summer this year!
