I Love Kayaking

I've only been kayaking since April. But after my very first paddle I was hooked and decided to get one of my own. I'm lucky to live five minutes from a put in that will let me paddle for miles in either direction along the river. The moment I'm on the water I can feel the stress leave my body and peace fill my soul. On the river surrounded by trees, ducks, heron, beavers, eagles and QUIET I'm blissfully happy.

It is Tumbleweed. Thank you for your appropriate sentiment. StrangeWorld on the other hand has slipped into the mind of a 13 year old boy. 😝

Diablo- I highly recommend taking advantage of your next opportunity. It's an entirely different perspective to view nature from the river opposed to walking alongside it. It feels more like your a part of it rather than observing it.

Interesting. I'm not a Kayaker (is that even a word), though I've enjoyed it the one time I did it to be a certified adult Water Sports trainer for scouting, but I'm familiar with and enjoyed canoeing.

I've been whitewater rafting, but that's an entirely different "aquaxperience". :D You're quite right in that kayaking is a unique perspective on nature. I would suppose that's somewhat similar to, from the air anyway, hang-gliding or the like.

Wonderful story, VV. Do you know how many times I've had a chance to kayak over the years and didn't do it? Like a zillion! :D

Sea caves would be amazing! I've only been out on rivers so far.

Confession: I laughed when I read "beavers".
