Canoe Kayak Discovering the Secret of Humboldt Bay
Canoe Kayak - If your goal is performing coastal exploration, a classic square-rigged sailing ship constitutes rather a blunt instrument.

unsponsored Kayaking Rapids in Scotland
unsponsored - Despite this when the sun rose in the morning we were greeted by a sight I never believed I would see – Blue sky in Scotland. Looking out across the Loch we weighed up our options and decided with such beautiful weather the Etive would probably be the only river running. Dry suited and booted we got on to a much more forgiving river and lapped the three steps several times before they became choked with other boaters who had come to same conclusion on river levels.
