KMAN,

All you guys here on RBP are awesome. Thanks so much for the help. It
is doable and affordable!!!!! Now to find a kayak.........hmmmmmmmm.

You mentioned that you were from Ontario...where do you think you'll be
doing most of your paddling? That will primarily dictate what kind of kayak
you'll want to look for. I know that there is a club (probably more than
one) out of Toronto because I met a guy that does some instruction there a
few years ago at a kayaking symposium in Florida. Getting involved with a
local club is a good way to get started. Not to start a religious war but
enrolling in some introductory lessons will give you a good kickstart and
may provide some enlightening safety related information. There are a lot
of good books on the subject as well.
