With no place to dip it in the water, I use it as a prop to push against the sturdy mangrove roots and propel the kayak forward. Between that and using my hands, I somehow manage to navigate the tapering strip of water that only seems to get narrower as we go further into the mangrove thicket.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In your reply to my earlier query, you said people who are good at adventure sports tend to join the military. What is the connection? I plan to be a professional mountaineer. For this, I intend to do basic, advanced, and search and rescue courses from Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarkashi. Then I shall join an adventure travel company and go on expeditions to the Himalaya and, hopefully, the Everest. After that, I shall do professional mountaineering courses either in the US or New Zealand, and then join an adventure travel company and scale summits around the world. Please let me know what you think of this plan. Do you have any other advice for me? Rohit Patkar, Mumbai]]></description>
