I haven't gotten the kayak wet since June. That's too long; I need to get the boat in the water again soon... Why do I like to kayak? (Click Pictures to enlarge.)
1. To Get Close To Nature
You get a "water-level" view. It's a perspective you don't get in any other boat.

You can take a kayak into areas that most people can never see.

You can go anywhere; you're not limited by shallow water or narrow passages.
You'll never get a motor boat in here!

Kayaking is so quiet; no noisy motor to scare off the wildlife.
I coasted up within 10 feet of this heron.

2. Kayaking is Earth-Friendly
Human-powered boating, no motor, no exhaust fumes, no waste of precious fossil-fuel, no pollution.
You can use your paddle to scoop litter out of the water. Eco-Kayaking!
Some protected nature preserves don't allow motors. Yay!

Getting close to nature is a perfect way to relax and get rid of stress.

4. Kayaking is Great Exercise
Paddling on the waterways is good aerobic excercise; good for upper-body conditioning.
Good for the body as well as the soul!
