Play

There are few things I would rather do than spend time in, on, or near water in the outdoors. As far back as I can remember I have been drawn to lakes, rivers, and oceans. Of all the memories of summers spent swimming and canoe tripping with my family, I remember one section of a northern Ontario canoe trip the most. At a set of rapids linking two lakes we had to line our canoes against the current. Grabbing the bow-end rope I carefully inched forward through the shallow but powerful riverbank water.
