About two years ago was the first time that I actually looked at a kayak. The price of one was a bit overwhelming when browsing the price tags. Then I started reviewing sites on kayak fishing to justify a purchase that would serve more than one purpose.
So after going camping a few times, I said that there are more things to do in order to take advantage of nature; more than building a fire and making s’mores. And because most of my trips are solo, I pack quick meals rather than big time consuming ones.
I ordered a bike in June and it is still not here yet. There is no rush as I am still modifying my enclosed trailer to a camper conversion. Since school started back in August, the build has slowed down , but that is not a bad thing. More ideas come to mind and It has prevented me from having to redo something later.
So, my first kayak adventure was on the Savannah River with Two Dudes and a boat. They were super helpful and very welcoming. The tour was at night and we paddled to the SRP Park for the Augusta Green Jackets fireworks show. The experience was very relaxing and it sold me on purchasing my own kayak very soon.
Due to injuries to my knee and arthritis in my hip, my days of high impact sports like tennis and basketball are long behind me. I have also taken on disc golf as I always enjoyed frisbees as a youth.
So the next time I get in a kayak it will be one that I purchase. Here are a couple of videos from that fireworks on the Savannah River.
