Any Kayakers out there?



You betcha!!
I've been sea kayaking for 11 or 12 years now. There was only 2 or 3 of us in the province back then. In fact, for the first couple of years, I kept getting men in fishing boats motoring up to me and asking if I was an Eskimo. One kind old fellow was convinced I had drifted to far away from the beach in my little 'contraption' and was insisting he take me back in. Now they are on every second car roof that goes by.

I've never grown tired of kayaking. Depending on the day or your mood, you can relax in serene, mirror like, flat water or if you feel adventurous, you can take it surfing out in the waves. Yup, they surf just like a surfboard except you are sitting down. Better yet, you can easily store a few days to a weeks camping gear in a sea kayak and have it stay dry. The volume depends on the size of boat. I have one long, 19' Seaward Quest, fast boat for relaxing and camping expeditions and my wifes boat, 16' Necky Chatham, has little room for gear because of it's flatter profile but is much more fun to play in the waves with.

If you ever travel to the east coast, I'd be extremely happy to take you on a tour around our sandy beaches and our unique red cliffs. Lobster is dirt cheap this time of year too. I usually hide a pot and MSR stove in my boat for lobster, mussels, or digging clams.
