Okay so another blog. So what do I write about. I am not sure. I could write about the paddle I was on yesterday, or the one the day before. But the guys have already done that... see Tony's and Sean's blog's....
So maybe I will give the short of how I started on the road to becoming a kayakoholic...
I had very limited exposure to being on the water in boats. I was in a canoe a couple times as a kid. I was on the ferry between Port-aux-Basques and North Sydney half a dozen times. I was in my uncles motor boat once. I was in my grandfather's fishing boat a few times. I also did a salmon fishing canoe trip down a river once. That's pretty much the extent of it.
Then the kayaker in me wanted out. I knew absolutely zero about kayaks and kayaking, but I researched the Internet and decided on the model that would serve my purposes. I went to the local outdoor gear store to have a look at one. I remember sitting in a kayak on the floor of the store and asking the sales guy "so how do you paddle this." That's pretty green, I guess. So I bought my kayak and all the basic gear. Then I immediately joined the local kayak club Kayak Newfoundland and Labrador.
That was June 2008 and I guess the rest is history.
