With a kayak overnight in Puget Sound an easy possibility from where we live, our yellow triple kayak got in the water for the first time this year. A paddle with friends to Saddlebag Island introduced new folks to the fun of kayaking.
Our boat hasn’t been in use much in the last year because our family has outgrown the big banana kayak. We can no longer fit both kids or a kid and an adult comfortably into the center, allowing the whole family to paddle in one boat.
For a family trip, we’ll now need to borrow a double or a single kayak to accompany our triple. But we don’t have a way to carry two boats on our car. That suggests we’ll need to experiment with trips from the local dock that we can access easily. Another lesson in considering adventuring close to home. We’re lucky to have paddle possibilities that can begin just a mile from our house, so here’s to not overlooking them.
Laural,
I very much enjoyed reading your new blog. Thanks for alerting us to all or your family connections to the internet.
