Morning paddle along the canals

I got up early, like I said I might, and rented a paddle boat. I felt a little silly peddling the thing and it took a minute to learn how to steer, but I soon found a quiet canal and drifted along while I painted. I used the canal water to do the painting and saved my drinking water for myself. The humidity was too high and I soon found I couldn’t draw on the paper. It paper was too soft and the lead wouldn’t leave a mark. I had to finish drawing a few hours later. I think it turned out ok, regardless.
