> Well, that's what you get for living in a big rectangular country, isn't it? Don't you have lakes and rivers, though? I'm almost certain Canada has some lakes or rivers. Or ponds. Or swimming pools, or even really big puddles. If it's water, you can float some sort of a boat on it somehow, if you try hard enough. :-)

We do have rivers, and I've been on several canoeing trips on some of them (including a week long thing with my dad when I was ten or so). There's even a river running right through Calgary-- I could walk to it in about half an hour from home, or ten minutes from work. But none of my options are deep enough for a REAL boat... I've been on some ferries, though, and they're not much better... Maybe I'll build a raft and hop on the river and follow it until I get to an ocean (probably the Arctic Ocean, I'd better pack some warm clothes). Then when I get there I'll steal a real boat... Yeah, and then I'll live life as a pirate in the Arctic Ocean, stealing from cruise ships and getting scurvy when I forget to eat my citrus fruits... That'll be /real/ living...
