We spent yesterday morning kayaking in Bonne Bay, setting out from Norris Point with a guided tour arranged by Sue Rendell and the great team at Gros Morne Adventures. Nick and I had done this on an earlier visit, and this time we talked Martha into tagging along. We all had a great time - unbelievable scenery, plus a spotting of a minke whale.
Nick kept us laughing at one point.
"Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke," he would say aloud, as I got him to set a steady pace as the lead in our two-seated kayak.
And then he would go in his own direction. "Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, heart attack." That was followed by "stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, quadruple bypass, stroke, stroke, stroke, hepatitis." The alternative diseases piled up, from swine flu to kidney stones to cholera.
I have no idea where that sense of humour came from. :)
