Went Kayaking in Monterey Bay yesterday with Selkiediver (who hunts fish from her kayak.) WOnderful! Perfect weather, a view of Monterey that is Steinbeckian (the rotting wood and old discarded boilers of the old fish factories, the sound of the Harleys, the view of the undersides of things and the weeds poking out. There's a hidden beach (called Hidden Beach) and it's easier to kayak that I thought it would be.
Until the kayak fills up (the flotation tanks) with water. Then the swell rolls it over and it's a bitch to manuever. This was only the last 400 yard (well, probably more than that earlier) but I went and complained about it (the kayak had probably 200 pounds of water in it...I couldn't drag it out of the surf. Lots of water!) so they gave me a certificate for an extra day.
$30 gets a wetsuit and a kayak, and there's a two for one coupon in Bay Nature.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
selkiediver has a kayak and is a great person to go with (you can rest while she goes zooming around) and I'm going to go kayak Elkhorn Slough when I get back (some sunny November day). Monterey Bay Kayak was a good company and a pleasant experience, even if the boat did fill up.
That which does not kill us makes us bitch.
