The course that I signed up for was Kayaking.  Today we went out on the lake, in the cold water, and learned to do wet exits and worked on rolls.  Translation:  we spent most of our time flipping upside down in the cold water so that the instructors would know that it was safe to go out on bigger trips.

Unfortunately, after all of the adventures and company our family has had this summer, getting dumped into the cold water 10 or 15 times did nothing for my immune system, and by the end of the day I was experiencing mounting sinus pressure and a terrible sinus headache.  So, I had to switch courses, which was sad, but I would rather learn to kayak healthy than miserable!
