Mark, you weren't kidding!
Thanks for the post, Andrew. I think I'm gonna print it up and hang onto it. I was looking at sea kayaks a couple years ago. . .and then I moved to Arizona. I'm not giving up hope though! I see your dillema but aren't there some pretty big rivers in Arizona if I'm not mistaken. Like the famous Colorado? I have no idea really about how big they get for a sea kayak to be the boat of choice but there has to be some great relaxing river paddling and probably a lot of whitewater kayaking too, depending on your interest. I've never been that far south in the West but hopefully I'll pass through there one day on my way to paddle around the Baja.

I'm not talkin Grand canyon thats diff, if your a hiker do Havasupai Canyon!

The current in the Grand Canyon is pretty impressive, well, scary actually.
Wordgasm. I plan to return to the colorado some day to do more hiking. My trip down the Grand Canyon is one of the more memorable ones. Its amazing what water and a little time can produce!

I have yet to actually go out and find them. *embarrassed* Freshwater is probably my best bet. I remember vacationing at Lake Powell when I was younger. As much as I enjoyed being out on the ocean in my buddy's tin can of a boat, I'm admittedly a bit frightened of the sea. Um, you know, the sharks and all. I'm serious, Jaws is one of the most effective sphincter-puckerers of a movie in the long term sense. That's ALL I think about when I swim in the ocean.

If I ever meet you, I'll be sure to show you this one movie about demons who live in speakers and crawl out of the ports when you fall asleep.

So I guess that sealed enclosures do have some advantages, Peter.

We have nice warm swimming water in our summer months but luckily it's not long enough a season to encourage sharks to make regular visits. In fact, most locals would (incorrectly)say we don't have any but in truth, they are out there but stick to the deep sea areas. They are sometimes hooked by tuna or deep sea sports fisherman. However we are lucky, they never come close to shore and we have never had a recorded attack in known history.
