Then it floats too much, and you have to beach yourself to get that shot you want.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_xhgcuY5CUHk/SIN263tM_QI/AAAAAAAAFkA/Ia_9CH_HpLk/s1600-h/tm0057.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_xhgcuY5CUHk/SIN263tM_QI/AAAAAAAAFkA/Ia_9CH_HpLk/s320/tm0057.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225150746437942530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then, of course, getting free again can be a problem, especially when you have a camera around your neck that you're trying to avoid exposing to any moisture.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_xhgcuY5CUHk/SIN3VO2us3I/AAAAAAAAFkI/aq5Z4lz8Fyc/s1600-h/tm0042.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_xhgcuY5CUHk/SIN3VO2us3I/AAAAAAAAFkI/aq5Z4lz8Fyc/s320/tm0042.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225151199328514930" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Being out on the river is quite relaxing. Especially drifting, while you listen to the birds and the reeds and the water.<br /><center><br /><object width="400" height="300"> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1372018&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"> <embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1372018&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object></center><br /><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1372018?pg=embed&sec=1372018">Drifting</a> from <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/user590437?pg=embed&sec=1372018">ILoveVerdi</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/?pg=embed&sec=1372018">Vimeo</a>.<br /><br />In the end I was forced to exit the kayak and drag it back through the 5 inch deep water.
