up the creek without a paddle

This was the river last Wednesday morning on my way to work. I thought to myself "Ideal for a first rowing lesson. Ahem. Not."

However, at some point it started clearing out and we enjoyed a beautiful, even balmy evening during the lesson.

I didn't do anything too stupid either. I reckon I may actually enjoy this and, at some point, I may even get reasonably decent at it.
The moment my limbs start working as a team. Tra la la la. Ninja power.
