So we used to go camping as kids on an island for the 4th of july every year. It was a big family party type of thing that would last 3 days.
My dad, big sister, and I had a large rubber raft that we would use to get out to the island.
One time on the island my Dad had my sister get in the raft alone so he could teach her how to row it. She got in, sat down, grabbed the oars.. and the boat moved. ABSOLUTE. PANIC. ENSUED.
She would not even try to row the boat, just kept lifting and slapping the oars on the water while crying and screaming and generally panicking while slowly drifting around.
I asked my dad if he wanted me to walk out and retrieve her as the water was only 6 inches deep at that spot.
He told me to let her be, she would calm down and get the hang of it. Might have been mean, but she did calm down and finally started listening to his instructions and eventually liked using the boat.
Anyone have any funny stories from your adventures?
