Re: [Paddlewise] What is a kayak ?

I think the best description I read went something like this:
A kayak is a decked boat that you sit in with your legs in front of you
and propell with a double bladed paddle.
This provides the distinction between the kayak and the decked canoe or
the wave ski.  Not real technical, but I have yet to find an exception.

visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a
great
blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
