Water sports on "The River"

Our leader’s daughter was having a water sports competition. We decided to join. The only thing was that it was 51 C which is about 124 F. What a better thing to do than be on the water on a day that is that HOT!! First, we started out sitting with the parents on top of a hill. Then, we decided that we want to be in on the action. We were able to go on the boat that all the judges were on. They then offered us to participate in all the fun. One of my roommates actually was involved in one of the kayaking competitions. Some of the boys thought that it would be fun to capsize her kayak. She handled it really well…even swam in a skirt. I tried rowing for the first time in my life and it is hard than one thinks. Eventually, I had three kids in my boat trying to help me to stop just going in circles. What a fun day and a great way to beat the heat!!!
