“Take the kayak out,” she said. “It’s a one seater, but you’ll both definitely fit.”
She was mistaken. Two grown women definitely do not fit in a one-seat blow up kayak. But we rowed around the little lagoon of the AirBnB anyway, playing Katy Perry on a waterproof iPhone, soaked from the waist down and laughing our heads off the whole time.
It was a disaster from start to finish, and it ended up being one of the best moments in my last eight months.
In summary:
things that are a mistake: expecting to stay dry when you exceed the seating capacity of a kayak.
things that are not: flying across the country for time spent carving a few more laugh lines with a good friend in golden light.
