> How many kayaks are named? My kayak is named the Henry David, after Henry David Thoreau, because the day I first paddled in it I was supposed to be at home finishing a major term paper on Walden. And because it's a Loon, and the bird figures prominently in Walden. And because HDT loved to paddle a canoe. However, we mostly call it the Loon, except that my friends mostly call it the Banana Boat because it's bright yellow, and because they think it's fun to be disrespectful.
