Minor Pleasures (11 Viewers)

I remember seeing to young kids floating down the canal on huge rubber inner tubes-must have been the scorching summer of 95. How I envied them.

I actually looked into kayaking lessons last year but the notion fizzled out . 'MIght have to rethink that.

Get into it, or at least give the 2 hour trip a go. I had a great time, bumped into the Liffey walls a few times but didn't capsize thankfully. Got beyond Heuston station starting from the IFSC. Went with City Kayaking, it was 25 euro which I thought reasonable and the lad running it is dead sound.
My back and arms are killing me now though.
 
Deadly. Do you have to be a strong swimmer?

Nah, I can barely swim and the issue wasn't even raised. You'll have a life jacket and your man is on a boat nearby so should you fall in you'd be fished out quickly. I did ask what were the chances of falling in and it seems the people that do fall in are being extremely stupid - he mentioned someone standing up to adapt their seating position etc. You'll be grand, the kayaks are very stable, I never once felt it was going to tip.
