Kayaks and Canoes

My Kayak on Crane Creek, Melbourne, Florida

I finally bought a kayak. I've always been intrigued by different bodies of water. I am irresistibly drawn to see what's around the next bend in the river, and now that I have a kayak I can load up and explore all sorts of different areas.

For over a year I looked for a used kayak, but no one wants to let them go. Now I know why! I am enjoying my kayak even more than I thought I would.

While searching for a boat, I also searched the internet for places to go kayaking, groups to join, types of boats...it has been a bit of work gathering information, so I'm going to share my findings with you here and maybe save you a little time.

Some of the information here will be specific to my location on the east coast of Florida, but I hope that a lot will be helpful (or at least entertaining!) to a more general group of boaters.
