Kayaking
What skill (craft, instrument, sport, art, etc) do you wish you could do but can’t? What’s stopping you from learning?


I had always wanted to kayak (love the water) and when I turned 70, I signed up for a class at the local community college. It wasn't easy, but I successfully concluded the course including the in the water part, even doing the spill and getting back aboard. But somehow my confidence never grew enough to let me continue on although I loved the feeling I got on the water. I had some health issues and now arthritis so that little voice tells me "better not."

I'm the only water baby in my family so no one else to go with. I love boating but only go on tour boats now. I do have a friend (not close) who I could ask to tag along, but confidence is still the issue. Maybe when the weather warms up more, I will do that. There's nothing like gliding in a kayak.
