I, for one, could use some humor.
I thought it would be fun to hear paddling related one-liners said to us while we have been out participating in our sport.
I have three.
My wife and I together:
A year ago last Spring, we canoed the Headwaters of the Mississippi.
Part of the trip was over the Minnesota fishing opener.
It was much busier than I thought it would be on the opener weekend.
Since we were in a canoe and had our gear in the boat, we endlessly got
“going all the way?”
Meaning, of course, all the way to the Gulf.
Our replies, out of earshot, became:
No, too old
No, too cold
No, too tired at the end of the day
You get the picture.
Said to me:
Having just gotten done with a paddle, we were stopped at a red light with our 22 foot tandem kayak on the trailer and the windows open.
A young lady pulls up along side and asks,
”excuse me sir, how long is it?”
Well, that has done wonders for my male ego over the years and my wife still gives me grief for it.
Said to my wife:
We were paddling our kayaks (21” wide) on a nearby lake passing by a couple fishing in a small resort-owned boat.
My wife was nearest and the guy says,
”how do you get in those skinny-arse boats?”
My wife has relived that many times and takes it as gospel that if she can still get in the boat she is in great shape.
Thanks and thanks in advance for sharing.
