>>1263833>my arms get tiredPaddle through the pain. You hit a second wind after you power through it for a while.
If you do it enough, you can paddle basically forever.
>Had to paddle (in a canoe, mind you) through torrential downpour coming at you sideways because it was amazingly windy.>Last day of a 4 day trip, paddling back to the launch point.>Had to go directly where the wind was coming from, which is good because you don't have to zigzag but hella tiring.>At times you would just go backwards.>Waves meant that if you turned sideways, you'd probably die because you'd lose all your gear in the middle of nowhere.>If you started to turn just a touch, canoe catches so much wind you have to fucking power the thing back on course with all your might.>Couldn't stop paddling no matter what.After going through that for 4 hours, 1 hour break when I got into a river, and then another 3 hours I never complained about paddling.
Thankfully the other guy in the canoe wasn't a bitch and we kept it up.
>get sunburntwear sunscreen and reapply often or a long sleeve shirt (button down or base layer that'll block sun.)
Other shit is just your attitude.
You didn't die did you? Didn't get hurt?
Being close to death and coming out unscathed makes me feel like a real fucking animal. I love it.
