eine bootsfahrt die ist .... well...

What is the hardest part in kayaking?
a) just paddle straight ahead
b) not to drown
c) to get into the boat
d) to hold the boat with your knees
e) to get out of the boat
f) not freeze in April-cold Wannsee
g) not be eaten by the mosquitoes during clean-up
well, if g does not really count as it is post-kayaking work I must confess: while I had suspected this question to have multiple answers all the way from b to f, actually it is not a multiple choice question at all and the only answer is a!
I had my first kayaking class last night and I think I am going to love it - because the water was already surprisingly pleasant, temperature-wise and also there was, of course (!) no full body water contact yet; and being on the water while the sun sets on the other shore and paddling away is really fun - ONLY the away part of my (and many of colleagues'!) paddling is not yet under control and thus we basically spiral our ways around the Wannsee in not quite pirouette-stile gracefulness.
