I just came home from a kayak trip with my father and siblings. It was a late birthday gift for my father who turned 60 last year. I was a bit anxious beforehand since the planning and logistics mostly fell in my lap, but it went smoothly and I think everyone had a good time.

Not pictured: the roaming packs of Germans with cases of beer in their canoes, and the JAS Gripen that showed up and put on a show for us during a lunch break.

Is drinking in a canoe not legal some places? asking for a friend.

Around here it's legal. Drinking while out on the water has historically been a legal free zone in Sweden, it was only 2-3 years ago that legislation around drinking while steering a boat (with an engine) was introduced, despite loud protests from the bars and restaurants out in the Stockholm archipelago.
