GREAT MARITIME DISASTERS
I'm one. I've never been a boatie-type. Yesterday I bought an inflatable boat tender and today inflated it and launched it. It didn't take me long to lose one of the oars (a 3 piece assembly job - the end paddle bit fell off and sunk). I drifted alarmingly off shore and basically went around in circles. I decided to jump off and swam/pushed it back. I won't make fun of Robert's kayaking exploits anymore. Promise.

LOL. And I looked up to you as an expert sit on kayaker. I did feel a bit silly too when I launched the Uruwhenua into a heavy southerly swell today. It was scary trying to paddle parralel to the shore and I beat a hasty course to the beach.
You should both get jet skis.

At low tide I found the rubber ring that keeps the oar in place and someone else had found the blade end of the oar and put it against a tree by the side of the road for whoever had lost it. Nice that.
I'm back in business.
Oh and by the way... fuck off Ron.
