I love kayaking, but I have a LOT of respect for open water. I don't do it. I'm a lake gal. I'm scared to death of oceans. Lakes are good 'cause there's nothing swimming around underneath you waiting and ready to eat you alive.
We usually go kayaking with a friend who is REEEELY into kayaking like you wouldn't believe. She's kayaked all over the country, and even into other countries. Her favorite place of all is Vancouver. She loves whales, and that's where they are in great abundance. She was kayaking up there once, when suddenly she became aware of a LARGE DARK OBJECT moving UNDERNEATH HER!  Of course it was a whale. (The Canadian authorities were not pleased, to say the least!) Still, she said Vancouver is an awesome place to kayak. I've paddled along the Fraser River where it empties into Georgia Straits, but that's as far as I take it. Even so, you have to be very careful not to paddle through a bunch of salmon, 'cause that's seal food, and the seals have been known to attack kayakers; they don't like nothin' disturbin' their food!
Nope, no thanks; I'll stick to calm pristine lakes, thankyouverymuch.....
