2nd kayak class was a series of disaster that left me a little sore and dispirited. I had serious issues with the boat and ended up loosing the feeling in my legs for a while. I got on okay with the sweep strokes, and did okay with the sideways strokes (it's just normal paddling I'm struggling with!). In the end I came out of the boat rather unexpectedly and found myself standing on a rock at the edge of the canal, with my head just above water. I had the guys drag the boat back, and I managed to climb up the wall of the canal onto the path.I'd truly had enough by then and didn't go back in. Still I'll go back on Monday again!
