Nice.

We are why you never hear about a monofilament roundup or a pick up
the trash day on the Estero River. There isn't any. ;-)

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.

At your age and physical ability, you need a Sit On Top kayak. Sit in are
hard to enter and exit, and if they turn over you have a good chance of
drowning while upside down. A good sit on top, you fall off and swim free
unless you have too many leashes on your equipment. You can buy an older
Ocean Kayak Malibu for a couple hundred US dollars. I have a Hobie Outback
pedal kayak. Which are very stable and the pedals mean I can move along
hands free and use my fishing pole. Downside, is my 2009 would still sell
for $1100 or so. Brand new is around $2400.

Say what? My "age and physical ability"??
Don't confuse me with the old farts in here...I am a young 67 years old and exercise regularly. Whatever y'all pay for those kayaks would be an extra 40 to 50% up here....mostly due to the exchange rate.
I ordered an Newsboy Apple style cap from a Californis company on Nov 26. It finally arrived on Dec 14. The $27.45 US cap ended up costing me $59.66 CDN after shipping and the difference between our currencies.

Henc has one of them that has outriggers and a sail along with the
pedals and a motor pad.
I think I would have more than one boat. ;-)

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.

Very interesting. Do they show that in the schools around the bay? They should.
