Rowing was a part of sports offered in HS and my Uni.
Despise cruise ships, but have been traveling by cargo ships and loved it!

TODAY'S QUESTIONS

When did you last ride in a taxicab, and what city were you in at the time?

***June 12, to Madrid Airport.

Have you ridden in a limousine?

***Yes.

Have you:
rowed a rowboat?…

paddled a canoe?…

paddled a kayak?…No, but did raft for whitewater rafting. Never again, we hit a rough patch and went flying out that thing. Even wearing a helmet that my teeth are still attached to my head is a downright miracle cause there were a lot of rocks.

been on a sailboat?…

been on a cruise ship?…

been on a yacht?…

ridden a jet ski?…

been on a catamaran?……Yes. Lived on one for 7 days during our vacation expedition to the Galápagos Islands with 12 other people, plus staff and guide.

Without fail it seemed each time I got in the shower we hit a patch rough seas and would bounce around the shower stall until I could get a grip on the safety handle and wait soaking wet and full of soap for smooth seas again. Not sure why no one has thought of putting benches with seatbelts not only in the shower stall but on the toilet too. And combing your hair? Most of us were walking around with bedheads or looking like Albert Einstein because of the swaying when looking at the mirror. 2 or 3 people spent most of the trip pretty sick.

All that said, the catamaran had a cozy bar area and a great bartender. Really good food too./

Do you know how to water ski?…

Do you know how to ride a surfboard?…

Have you been on a ferry that transported vehicles as well as people?

***Yes, Staten Island ferry, the one in Washington State going to Vancouver if memory serves, and one going from Greece to Italy which was a beautiful ride.

Feel free to give details and tell stories about any of your experiences with the above modes of transportation.

That's all I've got for now, friends. Have a terrific Tuesday, and don't forget to commit an act of kindness.

***Enjoyed the questions, thank you

***Happy Tuesday, all

went on a freight ship in Greece. It was a cheap way to get from Athens to Crete. We had to stay on the top deck in the sun all the way. Quite fun except for the sunburn.

Good morning, PJ and thank you!

When did you last ride in a taxicab, and what city were you in at the time? I think I was in DC about twelve years ago.

Have you ridden in a limousine? Yes, several times.

Have you:
rowed a rowboat? Yes.
paddled a canoe? Yes.
paddled a kayak? Yes.
been on a sailboat? No.
been on a cruise ship? No. Zero interest. Sorry!
been on a yacht? No.
ridden a jet ski? No.
been on a catamaran? No.

Do you know how to water ski? No. I mean, I know HOW but I can't do it successfully. Now I can say I'm too old!

Have you been on a ferry that transported vehicles as well as people? Yes, many times.

Feel free to give details and tell stories about any of your experiences with the above modes of transportation.

On my latest adventure, I was in south Louisiana, and there are ferries there. This was just a few years ago. I would love to go back to that area - in fact, I may do just that! The ferry was interesting and I would definitely ride it again. I thought it was beautiful and very relaxing.
