I'm a member of Three Rivers Adaptive Sports; a local organization that promotes recreational activities for people with disabilities. They have a new monthly activity this summer. They have adaptive kayaks they will be launching for a day on the the Youghiogheny River. Something I really, really wanted to do. The problem being that I don't have enough body control to literally keep my head above water if I were to tip the boat, even with a floatation device.
There is a quote from a movie I enjoy that says: "I know I can't swim so I keep my butt out of the pool." That quote keeps nagging at me as I continue to rationalize every reason why I shoujld try it. It's a huge risk. Worth it? Maybe. Maybe not. Sometimes being disappointed and safe are the best choices. Not always.
