<div>A friend and I rented two kayaks today at noon at NWOC and paddled out into Lake Union. It was such a beautiful day to be out on the water. Very little wind and not much current. The boats that went by left some fun wakes to bounce on. The Duck tours loaded down to full capacity with tourists squawking went by to our amusement. <br/> <br/>We paddled over towards the Northeast (towards 520) and found peace and cool views of the houseboats. Then back the Gas Works park then over to Dale Chihuly's studio/boat to eat some wild blackberries off the stems. And then back around to check the boats back in. <br/> <br/>It was a nice paddle and it was fun in the middle of the trip to hook up boats and sit back and shoot the bull relaxing and just floating about in the middle of the lake. I mean you don't HAVE to paddle if you don't want. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/seattlekayakcanoe">Seattle Kayak, Canoe, Rowboat, etc.</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>I have been lax in my duties as Seattle kayak promoter this year to an extent that's mind-bogglingly lame. It's my kid's fault, she forced me to go gaga over rockclimbing. Yeah, that's it. <br/> <br/>(In all seriousness, if anyone with more free time would like to take on the job of tribe moderator, let me know!) <br/> <br/>I need to check but I think I'm free the weekend after next.

<div>Took my girl on her first kayaking tour off Powell River last week in BC. <br/>At first she was scared so we took out a double. I guess I must have scared <br/>her a bit also when I told her about the water(cold, very cold) and asked <br/>her to please not tip us over! She noticed how easy it was and did just fine. <br/>It was hard to stear the kayak at first when you have some one that is clueless <br/>but in th eend we were like pros. Not sure if she will ever do it again but <br/>she had fun and she did it!!! That was HUGE in my book. <br/> <br/>Now back to solo again!

<div>I found this story about Captain Romer and thought you would all like it. This guy crossed the atlantic ocean in 1929 in a kayak. He fought off sharks while he could feel their backs rubbing against his legs from under the boat. His hair and beard were covered in salt. He developed ulcers all over his skin, he was hit in the face from flying fish. It is an amazing story. <br/> <br/>http://members.iinet.net.au/~lford1/maatcj83.htm</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/seattlekayakcanoe">Seattle Kayak, Canoe, Rowboat, etc.</a> - 8 replies </div>

<div>Cherokee and I finally got out kayaking today!!!! It was great, we rented from the NWOC and it was my first experience with a sea kayak and rutter, but more importabtly it was my first kayaking trip in washington. I got a little nervious when my clumsy foot knocked both of the foot peddles in a place that I couldn't reach but luckly I was able to resolve that. <br/> <br/>We went under the fremont bridge and crossed across lake union at the widest point in open waters. That brings me to my question, when crossing in open waters and ships and sail boats are comming in your direction what is the protocol for not getting hit?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/seattlekayakcanoe">Seattle Kayak, Canoe, Rowboat, etc.</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Well here it is March 3rd and I called up NWOC and they still had openings for the rolling class!. This is amazing as they are usually scarfed up by now. Its from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM at the shoreline pool on a Friday night (if there are any openings). The fee includes a boat and stuff and you just go and bascially they try to teach you how to do a flip in the kayak. YOu don't have to know how. ITs all beginners. But its kind of fun to try something new. Besides. Some of you lucky people can see me in a bathing suit!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/seattlekayakcanoe">Seattle Kayak, Canoe, Rowboat, etc.</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>So, the kid and I took a parent+kid kayak lesson together last Thursday (it being a cheap way to see if she'd like it...she's shown interest since I got mine) and she abso-frigging-lutely LOVED it. The kayaks used for the class were smallish sit-on-top models (I prefer sit-inside myself). <br/> <br/>Unfortunately, when we priced the one she used in the class, it cost more than my Swifty...$500 as opposed to a bit under $400. So we're looking for alternatives that are less. GI Joes has sit-inside models for around $300 and I'm toying with trying to talk her into one of those. If anyone runs into a one person kayak (either an inside or on-top model) could you let me know? <br/> <br/>Yesterday, the two of us squeezed into my Perception and went paddling at the lake across the street. It was a bit cramped but still fun. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/seattlekayakcanoe">Seattle Kayak, Canoe, Rowboat, etc.</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>The Principessa was kind enough to post a couple links on Seattle History for good places to rent. I went to the sites and pulled up the info that follows for renting canoes and kayaks (looks like Agua Verde offers food+drink too). <br/> <br/>I'm posting a starting route picture to the tribe. It looks like we could grab our boats of choice at the two locations (canoes and kayaks) and meet in the middle, at the Montlake Cut, then go wherever. <br/> <br/>========================== <br/>UW canoe, rowboat rental (canoe house?) <br/>========================== <br/>http://depts.washington.edu/ima/IMA_wac.php <br/> <br/>UW Students $4.00/hour <br/>UW Faculty/Staff $5.50/hour <br/>UW Alumni $7.00/hour <br/>General Public $7.50/hour <br/> <br/>You must be 18 years of age and older with valid ID to rent a canoe or rowboat. <br/>Boat restrictions: maximum 3 in a canoe and 4 in a rowboat. <br/>No boat rentals - November, December, January, and Husky home Football games. <br/>Patrons must have current UW ID to receive established rates. <br/> <br/>Boat rentals stop at 7:30pm and are due back 1/2 to one hour prior to building closure. <br/>Call 543-9433 for more information. <br/> <br/>May 1 - August 31 Weekdays 10:00 am - 9:00 pm <br/>May 1 - August 31 Weekends <br/>&amp; Holidays 9:00 am - 9:00 pm <br/>Sept 1 - Sept 30 Daily 10:00 am - 8:00 pm <br/> <br/>============= <br/>Agua Verde - kayaks <br/>============= <br/>http://www.aguaverde.com/kayak.htm <br/> <br/>Hourly Kayak Rentals <br/>OPEN: Monday - Saturday from 10:00am to Sunset. <br/>Sunday from 10:00am - 8pm <br/> <br/>There are no reservations for individual kayaks or small groups (1 - 7 people).

<div>I'm going out to dinner with my dad tonight, but it's so nice out I'm thinking of going for a paddle after. <br/> <br/>Anyone possibly up for a last minute evening paddle? <br/> <br/>I'll check back in when I get back from dinner, like 7.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/seattlekayakcanoe">Seattle Kayak, Canoe, Rowboat, etc.</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I was delighted to find that various park &amp; rec centers in the area have kayak classes. Paddling is fun but I want to eventually learn rescues, etc. <br/> <br/>Took one, a parent+kid one at Evrett P&amp;R tonight and it was GREAT. True, the kayaks we used were sit-on-top models and it was an adjustment: they were a lot more willing to tip. The teacher had us practice ditching and then getting back in while in the water and after I did a passable job getting back in, I reached into my pocket to check for my keys, leaned a LITTLE to far and.....OooHHHHH (splash). <br/> <br/>The kid took great pleasure in tormenting me about this unplanned water entry on the way home. WHERE is her gratitude?! Feh!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/seattlekayakcanoe">Seattle Kayak, Canoe, Rowboat, etc.</a> - 0 replies </div>
