I want a kayak

I spent yesterday afternoon down by Deer Isle at Amber’s roommate’s grandparents’ house. It’s a great location, with a great view of the ocean on a little cove. The highlight of the day was kayaking in some Old Town kayaks. I’d never been before, and I’ve always wanted to try it; I finally had the incentive to go out on the water with one yesterday. I thought it would be a lot harder to do than it actually was, since I had always heard of people falling off. The water was choppy, but not unmanageable (though my shoulders and back are pretty tired today). We went around the coast and paddled under the Deer Isle bridge, landing on a small beach filled with sand-dollars and very small rocks. All in all, a great time; I really want to go back, a lot, many times. Yes yes fun.
