I go back to the pedal-boats and was like "You're not gonna believe this but I actually won one!" Steve and Juan laugh, then joke about how we'll need a bigger boat.

Juan then jokes about putting a life jacket on before trying to get me on the boat...followed by an awkward delay where I'm like "Okay, let's put one on." He wasn't serious -- I was. Its lifejacket was barely able to go around its head and neck, but it worked.

Steve helps me on the boat and asks if I was doing this for the picture -- yeah, plus the story dude. He jokes about how this is going on social media, and I bounce back saying this is the least social thing you could put on social media. We laugh -- I think I'm less embarrassed than him.

I'm familiar with driving boats on water so I know they don't move or stop like cars, but MAN these were barely manageable. You baaically have a crazy-straw-lookin' joystick to control your rudder, and despite twenty minutes or so on this ride it was never clear to me how to angle it in any direction successfully. I could steer better backwards, but i could pedal better forwards. It was a mess trying to do this while holding the bear up so it wouldn't jam the pedals on its side.

At one point my pedals broke off and I was scared I would be stranded, onky to have someone come and steal my bear away from me while I lay stuck in a boat. Turns out I could still pedal the mrtal bar beneath it, but it hurt my feet.

I get back and talk with Steve a minute about what funny things he sees at this ride. He tells me about the time two overweight people got on a boat and he was trying to be respectful about the weight-limit of the boats (he thinks 1,200 pounds...!), nut they insisted they do this all the time so he let them on. I didn't know fairground regulations worked like that, but whatever, right. Anyway, as they get to the lake their boat is sinking into the lake so he pedals out there as fast as he can to let one of them get on his boat. Somehow that transfer worked out fine, but it catapulted the other person into the air and made a huge splash. I see some potential holrs in this story but just laugh it off and thank them for their time. I ask them for their names -- Steve is proud and Juan is reserved and kinda suspicious of me for asking.

I then get a sour apple snoball and rush homr to unload my prize before a play. My roommate has stopped asking questions or laughing at my absurd animals when I come in.
