You are on the move. Look down and see schools of fish swim by. A sea lion or a dolphin may decide to accompany you.
Animals seem unafraid of kayakers.
It is a peaceful sport. Only the ripples of the water break the stillness. Sea kayaks have been used by the Eskimos for thousands of years. In prior days they were made of driftwood and the skins and sinews of animals. These ancient kayaks were remarkably resilient and both light to handle and swift on the water.
