Perhaps a big ol' non-tipping canoe would be better for me. ;) The scenery is so beautiful--definitely a great way to workout!Kiersten @ Oh My Veggieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879131170308980919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-72723197163958978242013-05-24T08:27:55.458-04:002013-05-24T08:27:55.458-04:00Thanks Kathi!

It was something I never would have tried, but since I was at a Health and Wellness Spa I figured they should have some that I could fit in. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I would definitely go again. My massage therapist said my husband and I should buy some because there is a great area nearby where we could go. <br />I am glad that you had a great time. I was away for a few weeks so I fell off from reading your blog. I have been trying to catch up little by little. It's harder because I have been putting in more effort with my health journey. I know it's a good thing.

We bought him one two years ago (a sit-in kind) and he goes down the river several times a season. Last year he could only go once because the rivers were so low, but this year they are in good shape. I'm actually surprising him for father's day (our kids have paws)by buying him thigh pads that are fitted for the Perception Kayaks. He has a blast and flies past the canoes and blow up boats. I said I'd try it once I felt more comfortable (and had more stamina). Doing the river thing is huge around here and it's packed every weekend. I'm hoping he'll do his first journey this weekend with it being a holiday weekend. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-64366298046847984672013-05-23T16:38:50.984-04:002013-05-23T16:38:50.984-04:00Be brave young lassie! :) Trust me, I don't ...Be brave young lassie! :) Trust me, I don't do or have a desire to do anything extreme like skydiving.

I have to imagine the times of year we like to travel (spring or fall) might be a little chilly for kayaking but maybe those wetsuits keep you warmer? (Ugh, that was not a pretty thought!

I was lucky that my grandparents Florida home was on one of those manufactured lakes and they had a canoe and kayak, so I have less fear of it than I probably should. Once hubby and I get past our current home improvement project we hope to fit some hiking and kayaking in this summer. <br /><br />The little Miami has a spot where you can launch, paddle downriver a couple miles, then they collect you and drive you back to the starting point. It's not intimidating at all. There are some fast spots but very few that are deep enough that I can't touch bottom and I'm not tall. And the trees lining the river minimize sun exposure.EMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10618112674581997416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-86527634921336521402013-05-23T09:39:43.899-04:002013-05-23T09:39:43.899-04:00Definitely hoping that things get to a point where...Definitely hoping that things get to a point where we could get our own and go out whenever we want.

The Hanalei is one of the laziest rivers out there. The only part that isn't is the mouth when you're going into the bay but you never have to go near it if you don't want to. You'll also never catch me in one of those sit in kayaks. I have to have full usage of my legs and a vessel that doesn't sink if it takes on water.Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.com
