Kayaking in Keyport

"Don't I look nautical."

"We're going how far out?"

"What you're holding is called a 'paddle'."

"This is a paddle.  You use it to drive the kayak."

"Whatever you do, folks, just don't sink."

Take one last good look at the shore.

How many does it take to launch a kayak?

"You have to go out farther than that."

Ready to launch.

"Stroke!  Stroke!"

Kayak races.

"What am I doing our here?"

Far out.  VERY far out.

"Look at me -- I'm kayaking!"

Finally back ashore.  Now, how do I get out of this thing?
