A year or two ago when I on the ferry going to Newfoundland, getting ready to head out onto the ocean a very elderly couple saw my kayak and asked, "What is that thing?" When I replied that it was a kayak, a boat, they whispered together for a couple of minutes then the husband very solemnly advised me, "You should not go on the water with that. It is much too long and much too narrow for anyone to ever use." They then asked me if I had ever tried it before and were surprised to hear that I had indeed used it many times and had actually survived the experience.
