Cant Beat Kayaking in the Summer
We live on the lake so the kayaks are just a few stops away.
When the summer days start to get long, there is no better way to relax than taking a nice paddle as the sun fades.
I have a 12 foot Pelican. Its not a high end kayak but its been perfect for me. I'm a big boy and this kayak feels stable. I have had it now for 4 years and its going strong.
I opted for bright yellow because you want to stand out as much as possible so you are seen by the ski boats!
My son has a 10 foot Pelican kayak. He's had it since he was 12 and hes not quite as big as I am, but hes getting there!
Every time we go out, and we go out several times a week, there is always something new to see. Every year we have a husband and wife swan that have usually 6 or so babies which we affectionately call the Swan Family lol. It is really fun to watch them grow up. Many years not all of the babies make it, but I am happy to report last year they all grew up and before long you couldn't tell the babies from the parents!
One of my favorite things to do after a stressful day, is to head out on a full moon night. There is really something magical about being alone with just the waves slapping the side of the kayak as you rock in the moon shine.
I have loads of kayaking videos in a playlist on my YouTube channel. Please feel free to check them out. Here is one that I like because I got a once in a lifetime shot of a blue heron catching a fish. We were shocked LOL!!
