• Sea Kayaking

  • So that NeatoWoman could get to know all the enjoyment of paddling without the terror of whitewater she agreed that we should get a sea kayak.  Our boat, a Seaward Passat tandem kayak, was purchased in the spring of 2001.

    We got our initial training at home on Canyon Lake, TX.

    

  • Our next destination, Galveston, TX - The Gulf of Mexico.  We made two trips, the first was a recon mission, the second for two days of camping on the beach and kayaking.
