You have no idea how much I appreciate you taking the time to write this, I always do. I read it the same day I posted this but I wasn't sure how to respond. Now I can tell you I managed to get in the kayak and it was great. I got in and out fine, and did the same again the next day with minimal fear. I'm glad I didn't miss the opportunity to do so, at least not the whole time I was there.

It's one tiny accomplishment but still something! Now, for the rest of my life.. lol

I will check out all these links and I'm sure they will prove to be beneficial,
thank you so much! x
