Our Adventures in a Tandem Kayak

Yesterday, Tony, his brother David, and I took two of his boats out for a paddle. We had his new tandem kayak and a single-seater. (David, of course, got to be lonely.) As we started out, Tony wondered aloud about the fact that we always head out into the wind and when we come back, we seem to be either paddling into the wind (again) or there is no wind.

We paddled up the creek for quite a while before we started having to watch where we were putting the boat. Of course, the makeup under the water made the current (which was strong at that point) harder to fight. Shortly before Tony and I turned around, David decided that he'd stop and wait for us to come back. Tony and I made it around a bend and over some logs, only to find out that there was nowhere for our boat to go. So we turned around, gathered David, and headed back to the launch point.
