[Paddlewise] Paddling in austin texas area? traveling there...

I am traveling to Austin Texas to arrive there this coming Thurday
afternoon to attend a wedding on Sat March 9th.  

Any suggestions on where to rent a good touring kayak...and where to
paddle it...for an interesting or scenic day trip?    

If anyone wants to step in and loan the equipment and go with me for
good company I would be happy to spring for a nice dinner....

Used to white water years ago...but now I am too busy to do shuttles, so
often go paddling with one or no other persons at home...on the Columbia
River mainly, since it is only a few minutes from my home.  

I will have a car, but no rack on it...a rental.

I would be happy to reciprocate with anyone in my own hometown, which is
right across the river from Portland, Oregon.

I usually paddle a Pygmy Coho...

(I also will have three kids with me on this trip, and if I end up
renting might take my 14 year old out for a couple of hours. If I
borrow, he will be with cousins instead at the house...I am happy to
rent, but if so want to use a good boat...ie maybe try a Tempest out.

Thanks,
