But what about a kayak?
I do love it when I reference Dr. Drang on Upgrade and he responds with an entire blog post:
As Jason said on the show, he’d probably need a kayak that’s a bit bigger and more stable than mine because of the choppier water he’d encounter in his bay. While I’ve been out on windy spring days when the waves were a foot high and had whitecaps—yes, even on the relatively small lakes around here—it’s unusual for me to see much chop.
It’s about a mile (less if I walk) from my house to a boat dock I could use to kayak on the bay. So tempting, and I’ve loved it every time I’ve done it, but the logistics always get in the way. I love that Dr. Drang has found a fold-up kayak he can put in his Toyota, but I’m not sure if I can do the same for the rougher water in the bay.
Paddling regularly on the bay remains an ambition of mine. It seems wasteful to be so close and not to take advantage.
