Cecilia Gill: Labor Day on the Sabine River
A
Note from the Editor
by Jo Anne Johnson
I came upon an article recently in one of those paddling magazines that keeps showing up at my door and feeding this addiction of mine about whether or not kayakers and canoeists can really get along. Both sides presented arguments about why their type of boating was the best, and then some arguments about why they could or couldn't get along.
Personally, I just had to laugh. You see, I come from a mixed family - one canoeist (me), one kayaker (my hubby), and one ambi-boater (our daughter). I love that I can send my hubby downstream to check stuff out, and he can tote his little kayak back up to tell me about it, and he likes that he can throw all his stuff in my canoe so he doesn't have to feel it rolling around by his feet. My daughter doesn't really care what she paddles as long as she is out in the sun and water.
So, I suppose, to me, this is a null argument. I don't care who I am paddling with as long as there is water, fun and camaraderie.
So go... paddle - whatever makes you happy. Just paddle.
