I love the idea of the raft, as I wait for my noon Al-Anon meeting. Every once in a while I sit on the edge and get overly confident. Before I know it I am sliding off the side! Big splash - get water up my nose, and pull myself back onto the darn raft again.
I am buying these books. I rafted a lot years ago with a dear boyfriend...used to love to stick my feet in the water.
