This weekend Sabrina experienced another first, kayaking! Our friends Bernd and Dagmar took us out for a ride in their boats. German kayaks are a slightly different than North American kayaks. Think kayak style boat and paddles but open concept seating like a canoe. Sabrina sat between Adrian and I and was a total trooper during the almost 2 hour boat trip. There were a few splashes, lots of smiles and laughs, no tipping and only one quick stop by the German police! As we were paddling along, singing songs and admiring the scenery, we heard someone yelling at us in German. Adrian immediately asked if they spoke English and told me to turn the boat around as we were being pulled over by the police. In Germany, a boats name needs to be clearly legible. The boat we were using, does have a name but it’s black lettering on black paint; this was not copacetic with the authorities! After a quick exchange in German, we were sent on our way to enjoy the rest of our time on the water and with a directive to get some white lettering.
