Have you ever used an inflatable raft?  

Thanks for the warning! LOL

We just bought one. We just moved to a house on a lake last year where everyone has a boat. I see them struggling to get them into and out of the water, and putting them away each winter, so I wanted something, umm... portable. I got a "4-seater". I've been in one built for 2 before and it was hysterical! If you're in it with another person, you practically have to squish yourselves into one person to fit.

Here it is usually just my husband and myself. Occasionally, though, one of my sons or friends come over. As I haven't used the boat yet, it's good to know that I shouldn't even TRY to put more than 2 people in it at a time.

And now that I've read your post, it has put me in the mood to try out our new toy. I might have to wait until it cools down some, because it's supposed to be near 100 deg. tomorrow with high humidity, and also for the next 2 days, then cool WAY down to 90. I may try it then.

Thanks, and happy sailing... I mean rowing! I'll let you know if I can figure out how to go straight and not in circles. (I'll probably do the same as you, though.)

Take care.
