doin' it and doin' it and doin' it well

get out and explore the city and one of the best ways to see the city is on the water.  if you don't have a canal boat or friends with one, rent one.  they can come with or without a driver (which means you don't have to worry about colliding with a tourist canal boat). 

Boats:
