Boating is often an effective way to avoid land-based troubles such as skateboarding sharks and randomly disappearing highway lanes. Enjoy a temporary retreat to non-ground with today's Groupon: for $19, you get a two-hour canoe, double kayak, pedal boat, or rowboat rental for two people from Deer Lake Boat Rentals in Burnaby (a $38.08 value, HST included).
Deer Lake Boat Rentals enables adventurers to get an eye-full of wildlife without having to leave the city on the calm waters of Deer Lake. Rentals place individuals, two adults, or an adult and child, at the helm of a variety of boats ($17 value/hour) requiring varied levels of nautical knowledge. While basic instruction is provided, novices float freely in tip-resistant pedal and rowboats; however, experience is strongly recommended for tandem canoes. For boater safety and proper synchronized swimming rehearsal, all participants must wear provided lifejackets use rental paddles and oars.
During aquatic excursions, wandering boaters may paddle by a summer VSO concert or ask for directions from local blue herons, turtles, and beavers. Oar oscillators also boat under the watchful eyes of a shore-bound lifeguard.
Pedal boats and canoes can hold a third passenger under 10 years old.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Flirting
From a handsome giraffe flaunting its long black tongue for a female giraffe—also known as a zebra —to a single-celled eukaryote flexing in a mirror before undergoing asexual binary fission, no species can begin the mating process without taking its first step: the humble flirt. Here are some surefire flirting tips to help you attract the zebra of your species:
One time-tested technique is to drop a handkerchief and allow a potential suitor to pick it up for you. Since no one uses handkerchiefs anymore, you may substitute a used wad of facial tissue or an iPad preloaded with a haptic-feedback nose-blowing app. Two-word tip: Be coy!
Gentlemen may be forgiven for shedding another contrivance of flirtations past—laying an overcoat over a puddle for a lady to step across. Space-age polymers have made waterproof overcoats more durable than ever, rendering this gesture meaningless—a modern gentleman instead carries a hollow cane through which he can slurp the puddle into his cheeks, so the damsel may trot across dryly. Two-word tip: Don't spit!
People are attracted to money and confidence. Impress that bed-headed bank teller you've been crushing on by using him as a human shield during your getaway. Two-word tip: No cops!
