Winter project is complete. It is a Cape Ann Storm by OneOceanKayak.com. The accent wood is redwood and pine, the hull is Western Red Cedar. Can't wait to get it wet!
Terri and I get out in our kayaks when ever we get the chance these days. Today (Saturday) we went out from Henderson beach to White Islets. It's the first time we've gone around it. I loved the experience! My new kayak is much smaller than my other one and feels more stable in rough water. Now I can load it and carry it from the car on my own.

Kayaking was something we did not give a try yet. It was through SYZYGY ecosports that we got an opportunity to learn a lot about paddling and got a chance for paddle for hours. We will be sharing all the details regarding this adventurous activity to you. Kayaking in Kerala is something we badly needed as we have enough rivers and backwaters are there.
And We have also included some notes that you need to check if you are planing to give a try.

Our Experience – The Best Kayaking in Kerala
We used public transport well this time. We travelled from Coimbatore to Kollam via train. After we reached kollam, from there we got a bus till Mayyanad and then auto rickshaw to our destination.
The auto rickshaw journey was amazing, where there two types of waterbodies on both sides. One is the vigorous Arabian Sea and the other calm Paravur Backwaters.
There were different types of kayaks in front of us. We had the choice to choose our colour and lift them and park them over the banks.

It is the end point of the Ithikkara River (freshwater) and part of the system of lakes and canals that make up the Kerala Backwaters. That is connected to Paravur Lake to the south-east and Ashtamudi Lake to the north-west as part of the Trivandrum – Shoranur Canal (TS Canal) system that’s commissioned in 1880. This waterbody is part of the proposed 558 km long National Waterway No.3, which is known as West Coast Canal. And is the best place to do kayaking in kerala

La Getaria-Donostia es la prueba decana de las travesÃas de kayak de mar del Estado. Su primera edición se celebró en 1978.
Es una exigente prueba de piragüismo en mar abierto, de 9 millas náuticas (16km aprox.) de longitud, muy condicionada por el estado de la mar, que nos da la oportunidad de disfrutar, desde otra perspectiva, de la zona de costa entre Getaria y San Sebastián (Zarautz, Orio, Igeldo...).

An image from a kayaking expedition on Sydney Harbour. This is one image I did not expect to work! A selfie (myself in the front, my daughter in the back) taken by dangling the camera over the side of the Kayak with only a vague idea where it was pointed. I panned slightly and took a second image by guesswork. Stitched in Image Composition Editor.

Just under the Västerbron (bridge) on the Kungsholmen side, there is a cafe that has a kayak rental place in the basement. This is the dock they use. I took this from the Västerbron.
