And good times were had.
The paddle adventures that you have should give you good memories, like ducking deadfall, chasing wooden canoe paddles (RIP), bushwacking and getting lost because of ridiculously high water, having crackers with spicy tuna and hot chocolate with cayenne pepper under a tarp in the rain, things like that.
Don't be traumatized by a dunk into 32 degree water, not worth it.
