Forgot to add....the kids later described it as a double back flip, triple sow cow with a quad flail.  They scored it as a 9.2 with a deduction for a large splash.  Would have been a 10 had I entered the water cleanly.   :).  On the bright side, the canoe did land in an upright position.  Apparently the canoe is smarter than I am. :-/


I've learned the hard way that those welcoming logs are often moss-covered and when wet they are like stepping on a greased log. IF possible with my footwear choice I like to be on solid footing even if it's underwater.  ;D ;D ;D

  A nurse that canoes! That could come in handy.  ;) ;D ;D
