Steer From the Back, My Friend

Lola has been canoeing since she was but a wee lass. She knows a thing or two about how to keep the damn boat straight. In the process of canoeing along the Dordogne river, she was asked to sit in the back of the 3 person canoe by one of her travelmates. Of course, Lola assumed that was because said other person wanted her to steer. But alas, she was terribly mistaken, as it became apparent that aforementioned Navigateur thought one steers a canoe from the front. This led to much drunken careening along the river, as Lola attempted to divine Navigateur's intentions, and counteract accordingly. Thankfully, there were no aquatic mishaps, although a severe beating with a canoe paddle did nearly ensue. The day was beautiful; sunny with a nice breeze, and there were several castles along the 15 km route. Of course, the blasted camera batteries died halfway through. Lola will need to be kind to Navigateur in order to get copies of his photos.
