Mike, I love this story.

I had this experience when the kids were little. Tom and I rented canoes in Jamestown and went out on Pymatuning Lake. I had the canoe with our son and at that time he didn't weigh very much. We had a great time until we tried to get back and found ourselves trying to paddle into the wind. I paddled and I paddled and I paddled and got no where. I was exhausted and getting panicky when someone saw my struggle and offered us a tow back to the marina.

I would love to hear others McGyver stories of how they solved a problem they encountered while out paddling with the gear they had on board.
