Jessica...you got some nice photos fro Riverfest. Especially nice to get a couple of me in the Grumann.
I seemed to have gotten quite a few little kids.... with hands in the water of course. I think I remember how fun that was so I really didn't object. It was with hesitation though that I took my 2 foot long paddle along. I once used it while fishing. Several kids did just fine with the paddle but the girl in photo #8 was determined to paddle backwards and put the brakes on....and we were going upstream of course. I just groaned a bit and put more back muscle into it. Maybe she'll be a paddler some day?
I couldn't complain. After all, I think we all feel the exhilaration when we get our hands on a canoe paddle. Just look what happened to BobK !!
