I like that type of boat in the dusk picture. Somewhat like a canoe but
powered with a double bladed paddle.
I remember one called a Cayman listed on a Site. I asked a couple-worker
who's husband owned a kayak rental and guided tour business if he could
order me one but nothing came of it. Then they disappeared from the
site. Like the idea of them better than the sit on type.

That is a kayak. If you are a white water kayaker, you get a boot that
seals the hole in the boat to your waistband so you can roll it over
without swamping the boat. In warm water, they just rock it and slosh
the water out.


Even the Sea Kayaks have the boot. Still a pain to get upright.

I never see the boots here but the water is warm enough where it is
not an issue. The white water guys will just roll them to cool off and
come back up rowing.
These are usually young guys who are about half nuts anyway.
