The Sunday Five: Row-Row-Row Your Boat


1: What is your experience with canoes?

2: Tell us about the last time you were on a boat? 

3: What size boat would you like to have? 

4: How close do you live to water that you could boat on? 

5: Have you ever owned a boat? 

My answers: 

1: What is your experience with canoes? I have never been in one. 

2: Tell us about the last time you were on a boat? In May we took the Thames River Taxi from near the Wheel to Greenwich. 

3: What size boat would you like to have? Something small and slow, with a shallow draft that I could explore the wetlands along the river in. It has to be a power boat. Electric would be fine. 

4: How close do you live to water that you could boat on? We are about a mile as the eagle flies from the Potomac River, closer than that the Hunting Run, but there are no boats on it.  

5: Have you ever owned a boat? No, always wanted to. 

Please share your answers in the comments.

  1. 1. I've had a lot of experience with douche canoes but not the actual boat kind. There was that time at Disneyland when I was a kid, but I don't think that counts.
    2. Does the Love Boat count? Princess Cruise to Hawaii and back ten years ago for our fortieth anniversary. Almost died but it was a fun trip.
    3. A big one with an international crew and staff.
    4. I really don't know. Not too far I suppose.
    5. Just my shoes. Big feet. My father (ex-Navy) called the shoes gun boats.

    3: What size boat would you like to have? I wouldn’t
    4: How close do you live to water that you could boat on? We could canoe on the river here, but it’s almost 2 hours to the Mediterranean Sea.
