Commuting by Kayak


The trip to town is more than a mile and paddling that everyday will definitely build your arms. In a few weeks, I plan to arm wrestle gorillas. The last couple days were especially windy, so the trips have been physically demanding, plus the risk of capsize is much higher. The return trip is in the dark, so there is a danger of getting run over by speedboats, capsizing and not being rescued, and getting lost (which I did the first night). Today, while climbing out of the kayak at the docks I spotted a 4-5 foot long shark swimming under the docks. Hopefully he stays fat and happy on the scraps from the nearby raw oyster bar.
