My feeling exactly. There are plenty of places I already cannot go. Why must canoers and kayakers take advantage of or take over control of places I can go?
Kind of like the bicyclers who insist on riding on narrow twisty , turny , two lane roads . You come over a hill , pulling a trailer and here comes another vehicle toward you and a cyclist in your lane. Slam the brakes on or even lock them up and the cyclist has the audacity to signal you that you a #1. Maybe I'm missing something here but I wouldn't think of riding a bike in places like this( and I do ride for exercise) nor would I consider taking my 27' power boat 50 miles offshore.
If you find the little safe ponds and streams so boring , you must LIKE the thrill that comes with the big lake. So now you wish to make it boring too?
