My wife and I spent Monday morning paddling the San Marco's River.  If you have ever been there, you will know how clear and cool the water is.  The river originates on the Campus of Texas State University and flows South East for about 75 miles into the Guadelupe River.  We only paddled a mile or so back and forth through San Marcos.  The water was calm and super clear.  We saw ducks, egrets, and turtles (under the water).

 

We are new to Kayaking.  I just bought my wife a Old Town Vapor and I have a Field and Stream Eagle Run.  I like both, very stable and can handle a few waves.

I was going to paddle in Northeast Kingdom, VT today but a sudden thunderstorm has postponed my plans. My kayak is atop my car and filling with water. The cockpit cover I ordered hasn't arrived yet.

A flat water guy attempts Class 2 whitewater in a rec-yak. It didn'...

But I sure had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

Hi all....I came here to see if I could find a picture of the Original Tee shirts i printed(back in the mid 90's)for Smith and Bybee Lakes grand opening to the public!  4 color process of a blue Heron standing in the marsh with the Bridge in the back ground. DARN! I wish I wopuld have kept that tee! I did them in my livingroom and was very proud of them as it was a technically hard to print tee. If anybody has one(???) please put a pic of it up?  I Live in Portland and LOVE to paddle all around here. I started paddling on Earth Day 2002(ironically...years AFTER I printed Smith&Bybee tees!). S&B has gone through some big changes. I SO MUCH more liked it before they closed off the nice marsh with all the turtles that was such an intimate mood set for the transition to bybee and then to smith. I just cannot get over the change that closing that part off has made. SO even though I still go...I do not go nearly as often as i used to. I have a pic of my (then)4 year old in the kayak at the (used to be)put in. He is 13 now and I hoped to get a current pic of him as he grew in that same spot and it cannot happen. Did not see that coming. Some of our best shots(on my other computer...I will get some up)are from the area they closed off to paddlers.  Paddled S&B under a full moon...and as the sun comes up.  This place is NEVER crowded which amazes me at times. Since it is so accessible. S&B will always be a nice paddle...but it used to be special...till they closed off the part where our best memories of it are.

Columbia River; Willamette etc...kayaking is so great!  kayak CAMPING is even better! I paddle all times of the year...if the water is not frozen (and sometimes even when part of it is)...I still go. EVERY time of year is enjoyable in it's own way.  I really relax and enjoy my paddles...you never know when some place you really like may go away. My other sports involve speed...and I enjoy a good 'fast' long paddle...but it is the slowing down and atmosphere of the water/motion/wildlife/plants/sky...that makes it  so renewing.  If I was a doctor and I had stressed patients...the first thing I would prescribe is a kayak! If you kayak...I get you....and we are already friends!
