I'm living temporarily by a lake for 18 weeks and had looked around for a place to rent a kayak before resigning myself to admiring the lake from ashore. I joked that I should get an inflatable raft. Then I looked it up on Amazon because I really didn't know how much inflatable rafts were going for these days. What a great idea! For less than $30, I joined the ranks of the other privileged boat owners jetting across the waters.
