Theory of antidotes

Sue and Derrick paddle thru the Pillers of Hercules

It was a frustrating day dealing with registrations for Kayak Newfoundland and Labrador's annual Retreat coming up this weekend. There's always last minute things to take care of and often things happen beyond one's control.

Derrick called. "Are you interested in a paddle?" he asked. Absolutely I said. We arranged to meet at 6:00. I figured a paddle would be the perfect antidote for what ailed me. Brian and Sue made it a foursome.

An antidote is something that counteracts an unwanted effect. We paddled up to Topsail from St. Philips and when we got back the antidote had taken full effect, proof medicine doesn't always come in a pill bottle.

Tony :-)


Sue "rescues" Brian as Derrick is ready to assist. Brian jumped out of his boat before we came around some rocks and had to be rescued. Sue sprang into action and after Brain was back in his boat she said it wasn't very realistic. I asked why not and she said "he practically got back in the boat himself". All good fun.
