Today was Joshua’s first day on the kayak . We are not very good at predicting the weather so we choose a rainy day and for good measure we went scenic , somewhere we have never fished before .
Group fishing on wild waters is always reassuring , new comers can join with added knowledge and safety .
Since today was Josh’s Day , the young man made it special . We only paddled a few yards and in the corner of my eye I saw him bending that rod .The first fish was on . The humble perch smashed his lure , simple !.
A few seconds later I shouted fish on , the Daiwa Ninja Lrf combo was working a treat , so smooth , light , combined with the spiky fox shad I was ready for action .
Nick , Iain , Tony and myself all dropped anchors all working different techniques out for the Perch .
The soft lures worked well . We then on sheltered under that tree already soaked to the bones . Little snack to eat and then back out again . The small burn entering the loch looked promising . The deep ledge surely would provide some action .
Ledgering close in with a single maggot Tony hooked into a specimen perch , a big handful striped warrior . I manage a quick photo and he gently release the beast .
Early afternoon fishing went quiet for a while , we then paddle across the loch looking for more action .
Josh was playing tricks on his dropshot , a little tiny soft worms played inches from the bottom was having demolishing affect . Fish on , fish on fish on .
A spell of dryness suddenly appeared in the sky . Quick change of soft shad I was hoping for a bigger fish . Around the corner Josh missed a good fish , I casted promptly and bang on , his fish suddenly became mine .
We went for perch and we got perch . I know they can taste good and so blabla we released them all .
Josh first adventure on the water was a success and I guess he will do very well in those years to come . Born to fish .

All set for an excursion with kayakers heading out to the phosphorescent bay in the harbor at Lajas, La Parguera, Puerto RIco
While kayaking up the Somo river I startled this vulture into a nearby tree from its position on the ground. It tolerated me for a bit, but then took off. I like the backward look and the framing branches, but the light was so tough to deal with. Due to its small size it may be a young one.

Kayaking is the use of a Kayak for moving across water. Kayaking and canoeing are also known as paddling. Kayaking is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is defined by the International Canoe Federation (the world sanctioning body) as a boat where the paddler faces forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle. Most kayaks have closed decks, although "sit-on-top" kayaks are growing in popularity, as are inflatable kayaks which come without decks but which have air chambers surrounding the boat.
Whitewater kayaking involves taking a kayak down rapids, weirs and waterfalls. Sea kayaking, also referred to as ocean kayaking or touring, involves taking kayaks out on to the ocean or other open water such as a lake. It can involve short paddles with a return to the starting point (or "put-in"), or expeditions covering many miles and days. Kayaking of all kinds has become more popular through the 1990s and early 21st century.

Kayaks are classified by their use. There are eight primary classifications: polo, slalom, whitewater, surf, touring/expedition, light touring/day tripping, sprint/racing and general recreation. From these primary classifications stem many sub-classes. For example, a fishing kayak is simply a general-recreation kayak outfitted with accessories that make it easier from which to fish. A creek kayak is a certain type of whitewater kayak, designed to handle narrow gully type rivers and falls. Also within these classifications are many levels of performance which further separate the individual models. In other words, not all touring kayaks handle the same.
Kayaks and canoes are also classified by their design and the materials from which they are made. Kayaks can have hard or soft chines which require different types of handling. Each design has its specific advantage, including performance, maneuverability, stability, and paddling style. Kayaks can be made of metal, fiberglass, wood, plastic, fabrics, and inflatable fabrics such as PVC or rubber. Each material also has its specific advantage, including strength, durability, portability, flexibility, resistance to UV, and storage requirements. For example, Wooden kayaks can be created from kits or built by hand, but they are heavy to transport. Inflatable kayaks, made from lightweight fabric, can be dried, deflated, and stored in a closet.

There are several major configurations of kayaks. "Sit on tops", as the name suggests, involve sitting on top of the kayak in an open area. "Cockpit style" involves sitting with the legs and hips inside the kayak hull with a "spray deck" or "spray skirt" that creates a water resistant seal around the waist. "Inflatables" are a hybrid of the two previous configurations, these boats have an open deck, but the paddler sits below the level of the deck. "Tandems" are configured for multiple paddlers, in contrast to the single person designs featured by most kayaks. Tandems can be used by two or even three paddlers. How a kayak is configured has nothing to do with its classification. All configurations are represented in each of the five primary classifications.
Gunnar was able to drag a kayak across the lawn to this pond. From here it is possible to paddle into a mysterious cave.
