A kayak is a small boat with a covered deck that is used for paddling on open waters of lakes, bays, and oceans. There are always kayaks around my neighbourhood and always lots that you can rent if you don't own one. I'm a bit nervous about them because you have to know exactly what to do if you go over and find yourself hanging down into the water. Also, I don't have great upper body strength for paddling, but I do have enough upper body strength to take photos people kayaking. Here's one of a young boy paddling his kayak and later on, both he and his Dad went paddling past me together.
Hope you like the photos but most of all I hope you like the fact that Mrs. Nesbitt was very keen on creating ABC Wednesday many years ago and that it's still going strong! And we must remember to be thankful for the kind-hearted Roger who took on administrative duties when ABCW became too large for one person to handle. He and his team of kindred spirits keep things rolling along each week! Have a killer week everyone and see you next week with the letter L.

I have kayaked. I found it quite hard work! But I didn't fall in. Almost did but Mike saved me! It is very quiet and a pleasant way to potter about though.
i haven't done that... i don't think i would dare ;-)
Take care and let things come as they roll out.
Have a nice ABC-Wednesday-day / - week

I have done some paddling for only a short ride, but my daughter in Australia does it every year with the children, the younghest of them was then 3 years last summer. She loved paddling very much.
I wish you a wonderful easter week.

Happy Weekend coming to you ~ ^_^
I would love to try this, but at the same time I'm scared stiff.
My ABC WEDNESDAY
I went kayaking once when I was in High School. However, I wasn't very good at it, so it wasn't relaxing for me - LOL! Happy ABC Wednesday, my friend!
They must have enjoyed greatly..Thanks for sharing the post.
Great sports photos! I am not sure I could right myself once I went over so this is one I don't think I will be trying!
I am AMAZINGLY bad at kayaking!

I did once try my hand at kayaking, but it was many years ago. My abiding memory is that it was cold and wet!
The first two times we went kayaking, I was better able to paddle than Wayne. That's a rare thing. He is much stronger and has more endurance than I do in all other activities. - Margy
I can't even keep a rowing boat upright on a very shallow
boating lake let alone a Kayak... bit of a landlubber really.
love Di xx

I've seen people with them but have never been in one. Great shots!
Wonderful shots. I've been kayaking twice, both times in a double-seated vessel. You might like that. Paddling together with someone. Think of all the wonderful different angles you'd see from a kayak.
The View from the Top of the Ladder
I tried kayaking in Hawaii while on honeymoon in 2009. It looked so easy until we hit some fast-moving water and it suddenly got really hard. At that point, as novices, we should have turned back but I pressed on. My husband unfortunately capsized and then went down with a stinking cold as a result. What a honeymoon!

more secure outing whether you are leaving city for an end of the week escape, or turning away to a remote area for a considerable length of time, voyaging carries with it a specific amount of issues and fears..
