Kayaking New England...

[liz_marcs]

Hunh. Kayaking must be turning into a long-term cultural thing here in New England.

The Boston Globe has run a list of New England's Top 10 Kayaking Spots.

Please note the overabundance of ocean kayaking. *facepalm*

Me, I much prefer sheltered harbors myself.

Although the first time ever that I kayaked, I did it by rowing across the mouth of Beverly Harbor from Lynch Park in Beverly to Willows Park in Salem, then around Willow's Park to Juniper Cove. Then I rowed back to Lynch Park.

To see how far that is, click to see an aerial view.

Yeah. That really was my introduction to kayaking.

Anyway, due to getting estimates on my car, I was in late to work this morning. Which means I'm going to be late to leave.

*sigh*

3 more hours of work to go.

Aaaaah! My childhood! I practically lived in Lynch Park during the summers.

Heee! Lynch Park was a nice little park. The beaches were the soxX0rz, but the rest of the grounds were quite lovely.

Plus, the whole renting kayaks, canoes, and outriggers thing they had.

I am suitably impressed. Plus pretty.

I now have a yen to get a Klepper and, from the Chambly Canal at St Jean de Richelieu, paddle down to the southern end of Lake Champlain.

Admittedly, my mad kayaking skillz are limited to "can keep the thing pointed straight in calm water. Most of the time." The less said about my Eskimo roll, the better.
