It was a clear warm summer day, bright, yet cozy. The kind of day that you can not say 'no' a. There were several places we can go to picnic and enjoy the weather. We decided on a dam nearby. We carry our tandem kayak brand unknown, on the roof of our car, our lunch bags picnic and the four of us, my husband and I and my in-laws, she left.

Implementation was never difficult. There were no jetties – just soft, rolling, small wind blown waves against the naked shore, very typical of dams in tropical Africa where the climate is hot and dry quickly absorb large amounts of mass water, exposing the underbelly of released from the dam.

In no time we have launched, taking turns to have a trawl faster around the coast and in water. Nothing about our trip was professional, not special palettes, comfortable seats (they were really hard!) Skegs or any otherwise. We were enthusiastic fans almost able to go where we wanted. Eventually.

When my shift was associated with my mother in law, a cheerful soul, charming, but is not and never an athlete. We settled in Myself front legs out, sitting in the seats of molded fiberglass. They gave us a boost in the water for our respective spouses and were paddled, cheerful and uncomplicated in the dream day.

The problem comes with our return. As to land and land without feet and legs wet. We decided to go for a quick paddle that would send us right into the steep slope of the bank so we could go ashore firm.

It worked, even in the dry firing. Flushed with success and happy to share it orally with my husband and father in law, could not understand his break laughter. Looking behind me I saw the back of the boat is slowly sinking into the water. I was in the dry, but mother-in-law was not. He was caught by my position. She could leave the boat until I did. Her legs on either side of my seat and the edge of the kayak seat space remained strong there. She had no choice to sit while the water poured in around her, soaking her through and through.

Our picnic package does not include a change of dry clothes. The only consolation was hot weather. She never lost her sense of humor, however.
