I just bought an inflatable coleman kayak and took it for a 4 hour trip down the river in my local metropark and I'm hooked!! It was awesome! I was too busy keeping myself straight to really birdwatch, but I did see a kingfisher, a racoon that tried to swim across the river in front of me, and a muscrat...Just curious for any tips, my only complaint is "paddle drip" apparently I can buy something for that...
any canoers/kayakers?

Did a 50 miler with the Scouts (I'm a Scout leader) on the Buffalo River in Arkansas last summer-had a blast!
Do have a home-built pirouge that I've been known to get wet every so often. The Scouts Love "Mr Art's" boat!

Baby steps-gotta start with baby steps!
We saw a lot of wildlife: deer, bear, otters, Turkey buzzards, raccoons, ducks, geese, kingfishers, herons, egrets....
Plus a lot of fishies!

I've done it a few times in different states- always had a blast. Have thought about buying my own from time to time. How much do the average ones go for these days?
Are these what you're referring to?

mine was $1100 almost ten years ago. I got hooked after renting one in Seattle. Quite fun and relaxing. Much better in groups. My wife and I rented a double kayak in Alaska. wasn't a good idea:duh:
I have the kayaking bug, I have a dagger element 11.5, and I'm looking to buy a dagger mamba for white water
