"Even I don't Believe What I Did Today!"  -- Submitted by Kendra Dayger
Here are a few excerpts  from Kendra's entertaining story about her experience whitewater kayaking at Lock 32.  
Quick. Before my muscles solidify.  You will never believe what I did today.

I drove over to Lock 32 on the Erie Canal in Rochester, NY, to watch a white-water kayaking demonstration.

This morning there was a beginning women’s class underway with four women and a teacher.  It wasn’t until I got right down in there that my curiosity got peaked.  A couple of other “older” onlookers and I had some good laughs as the women got stuck in the bushes along the bank, or couldn’t get out of an eddy, or tipped over.  When the first woman went over the first falls, my heart was in my mouth, but she amazingly survived nicely, though with a temporary hearing loss. ...

...I just thought it looked like so much fun and it was such a beautiful Saturday, that I asked if there was an afternoon class, and the instructor said, “No.”  I asked if she would do a private lesson, and she was happy to.  (I didn’t think I could last the whole 6 hours for the first class anyway.)  I drove home and got a sandwich and found an old swim suit and was back in half an hour.

As Kendra's instructor, I must say she did very well and had a smile on her face the whole time!  I hope to see you back on the water; if not, we hope to see you at Lockapalooza again this year.  Thank you Kendra
