As a mild hydrophobe, when someone says "let's go kayaking tomorrow!" I do not immediately jump for joy. BUT I had a ton of fun going down the North Santiam yesterday in a two person inflatable kayak (Mr. eralclare was kind enough to be my shipmate). I figure I'll work up to paddling solo. It was a beautiful high 70's day and the river had just enough action to make it fun for me and interesting enough for my extremely proficient hard-shell kayaking friends. Added bonus? The wetsuit made me look like a bulky ninja (ki-YA!).
I am, alas, still carrying the plague. Staying up until 3am playing Texas Hold'em the night before kayaking doesn't give one's immune system a boost, exactly. But, I don't feel like crap any more, either, I just hack like a smoker every 5 minutes.
