In a previous article, said:
Ok, you were in a kayak and couldn't avoid a boat load of little girls...and
you are ****ed. Get over it

I would have to concur. A canoe with neither paddle in the water is a
bit like a log, something I would expect on a river.

Considering how little control they had, they were moving pretty fast.
But they were doing that "everybody paddle on this side, now everybody
paddle on the other side" zig zag thing. They didn't take their paddles
out of the water until they were on a collision course with me.

If there is an up side you will be fine. You could have ripped up your
shoulder. That just refuses to get better.
Good luck and get well soon.

Thanks.

I would lighten up on the kids though. Was their master aware they hit
you?

Probably, but the pain wasn't that bad at first so I didn't complain to
him. It was only when I tried to take the kayak out of the water that I
realized how much trouble I was in.

The worst thing is that I was due to fly up to see my kids the following
weekend, but I can't fly with this stupid cast. By the time it comes off,
I'm going to have to do an Instrument Proficiency Check with an instructor
before I fly again.
