From the kayak

We've already got a bunch of canoes up at camp — I buy canoes at garage sales the way anyone else might buy tupperware. But this year, I've added a small kayak. I chose a light one, only 36 pounds, which means I can carry it with one hand. The advantage of a kayak is that I can take it out by myself, which means there is no one to complain at how often I stop paddling to take photographs.
