Kayaking and Canoeing

canoeingBoating is perceived as only for the “well-heeled”; a “rich man’s” hobby. But boating doesn’t mean just big, expensive yachts and cruisers, and only boating on a nearby lakes or the ocean sharing the water with other boaters. Many people who would like to have a boat are turned off because of the expense of buying and maintaining a big boat, as well as where they will “park” their boat when it’s not being used. But buying a boat is like buying a car. You buy what you can afford, and what you want to do with it.

There are many ways to enjoy boating, and just cruising on the lake or ocean with other boats is just one option. “Sailing” has always been equated with adventure and discovery; and while you won’t be discovering any new continents, you can still get that feeling of adventure and discovery.

And it doesn’t have to be expensive. If you’re the “adventurous” and active type who finds just floating and drinking Mai Tai’s on a cruiser boring and expensive, consider buying a canoe or kayak. For “active” boating along rivers, lakes and oceans, kayaks and canoes are a great option to really get a sense of what boating is and used to be: a means to discover new places and see new things. Even today, there are places to explore, and a canoe or kayak can get you “up close and personal” with the water.

For the more active types, there are canoe and kayak races and events as well. So for more “active” boaters and ones on a budget a canoes or kayak is an option. But, they need to be maintained and protected.
