Happy Fall!

Fall is a beautiful time to kayak! Took a nice drive across the country so didn't get to kayak much this fall, but hopefully many of you did!

In the northeast where I live the river banks are absolutely breathtaking with all the colors of autumn. Every color from the deepest of greens in the evergreens, purples, reds, oranges, crimson, rusts, golden, ambers, and yellows!

AHHH!!!

Kayak available!

Summer coming to an end! Get on out there! Kayak for rent!

Types of kayaking

There are several different types of kayaking. It is interesting to understand the definition and types. There is sea kayaking, ocean kayaking which some refer to as sea kayaking, white water kayaking, river kayaking, and plain old kayaking around the harbor or lakes, etc.
Wikipedia offers a god start for the definition and types ..enjoy!

Safety First ..yes even on a kayak!

Boating of all types can be fun, but like with any other fun activity comes some risk. It is important to be informed about boating safety. As an ex boating safety instructor, I wanted to be sure to mention that there are plenty of good book, courses, and people out there that can provide great safety information.

Department of Natural Resources and the Coast Guard just to name a couple. Please learn about boating safety before you venture out.

Just because a kayak is a smaller vessel without all the fancy stuff bigger boats have does not mean safety should be disregarded by any means.

So Happy, Safe Kayaking!

City Paper

If you have not read the City Paper this week, please grab one and read it. The front will entice any kayaker because the word WATER is stretched across the front.

The story and cover shows a local diver / kayaker...yes he dives in the inner harbor.

Take a look ...quite interesting!

Used Kayaks

Used Kayaks are a good way to go if you want to try a season of kayaking.

Ebay often has kayaks available.

Also Kayak Online http://www.kayakonline.com
is a great website for all sorts of kayak info and purchases. They list several places to purchase used kayaks.

Happy kayaking!
