Birkenwerder July 27th to 29th 1987
We went on a boat trip today.
We went on a boat trip again today.
Today, I stayed in bed til noon and read.
I believe, the boat I'm talking about here is my parent's folding canoe.
These boats were quite popular in the GDR and consisted of a wooden frame with a rubber/textile skin. It could be disassembled to save space. However the assembly/disassembly process was quite involved, so my parents assembled it at the beginning of summer and kept it that way until it was time to stow it away again.
Here's a photo of one that looks very similar to the one we had:

It's a two seater, but my dad had added a third seat for me in the middle.
