a trip postponed

Well well, seems like so long planned trip with kayaks will be canceled. And everything because of weather forecast. It's true that it have been raining pretty a lot recently there. And if to follow the pattern of the weather, it should be sunny tomorrow and rainy on Saturday and weather forecast is not that optimistic. Of course, rain can't be that frightening. But we have experienced same trip with kayaks 2 years ago. Maybe, we didn't pay that much attention to the weather forecasts that time, but we didn't expect such things or didn't expect that it will effect the trip so much. Shortly, that time we ended up under the bridge, all wet. Tents and sleeping bags were wet too. Bottle of vodka did its work to warm us a bit but not enough to continue the event. So, the trip ended 1 day earlier than planned.
Having this kind of experience, some might want to repeat this and some don't. We applied democracy rules and voted. Most was "No". Though I voted "no" too, it's sad a bit, that nothing gonna happen. There was suggestion to postpone the trip for the next weekend or even next month, but it's not likely that it's possible to get so much kayaks. We were in a queue for this weekend for more than a month. Possibly, all the places with them are already reserved for the end of the summer. It's not a must to do something which takes that long. Maybe, the same amount of adventure and impression just in a shorter time interval, like jumping of a plane ... with parachute. It's about time for that. After I finished my Bachelor studies, I made a bungee jump, parachute would fit with a Master degree, which I got not long ago.
