Piece of cake, Grouse.

Piece of soggy cake.

Me and a friend did a a little over 9 miles on our maiden voyage last Friday, hour and a half down with the tide, two and a half hours back up. I didn't really get the body rotation thing at all, but I've found a video to watch on Youtube about it.

I'd wrap the kids up warm if they aren't paddling, because they'll get cold quite quick, but other than that I think it's a bit of a nice adventure for them. And even nicer if you find a lake that isn't tidal.
