Kayak

I opened my eyes, the bright white glittered off the water looking like diamonds. The smell of pine penetrated my nose and the dark blue of the water festered my mind. I sat back in the kayak and saw my father, his tan smiling face looking down at me. I picked up an oor and looked behind the kayak. There was my aunt and sister steering the hub of plastic by pushing the water in circles. My aunt wore a bright yellow life vest and always brought enough water to hydrate a village. She wore thick black sunglasses and a white rounded hat that gave her the appearance of a cowboy. I sat up and took a deep yawn. Then, a thick wave of water splashed our hull, and drenched me in freezing water. Amidst the confusion my father, lost his balance and swung the ship into the cold abyss. What he didn’t know was that the velcro from my life vest had stuck to the kayaks, subsequently drenching me in water. It was a surprise attack from my cousins, Avery and Gus, they like the japanese in WW2 had taken out both me and my dad in one blitzcrieg move. I swam out of the water onto the beach. It was a war zone, the rest of my cousins jumped out of the surrounding bushes armed with neon water balloons, pelting me into submission. Avery: Hey, let's go to that lighthouse Leo: Sure Gus: What about the cliff? Avery: Yeah let's jump off that! Leo: I don’t know, it's pretty far…

When the lifeguard's face grew a bright mischievous smile I knew what was next. "Now you have to capsize, flip your kayak over, and get back in." For some reason that seemed frightening at first I don't know why, the water is warmer than yesterday and it's not raining. Maybe it was the thought of not knowing what's beneath me. Whatever the reason it made me hesitant along with everyone else. Out of nowhere the daredevil side of me that allows me to ride the awesome roller coasters makes me…

set of clothes back in the cabin. We put life jackets on because we were required to wear them because some people don’t know how to swim. I have never been kayaking and I and the fear almost crippled me like a bird with clipped wings. I didn 't even know what I was supposed to do with the paddle, I was so clueless. I didn’t want to do any of it but all of my classmates were doing it and my teacher was so I would look like a scary cat not not doing the activity. I chose to go on the kayaking…

Ultimately, no one won the race because the wind became too strong and everyone had to retreat back to the docks where we began. Although the race was never finished, I was extremely impressed that my friends never tipped the boat over. Operation Pegasus Inferno is agreed upon by my friends to be the most enjoyable game played during Camp Edwards. The game had two large teams consisting of a mix of campers and counselors. One team started in kayaks out in the lake while the opposite team…

Aside from bikes and skis, the most popular item that needs to be transported with a roof rack is a boat. Kayaks, canoes, even surfboards are simply impossible to transport inside your vehicle. Compared to an alternative method of transpotation, such as a trailer, a roof rack is substantially cheaper and easier to use. The only problem: where do you start in selecting a roof water rack? What kind of boat will you carry? The first step in the selection process is determining what kind of boat…

My mom and I decided that we wanted to try it out too, but little did we know what an amazing time we would have. My mom and I got up very early in the morning and headed off to a large nearby lake that we had seen when driving past. Thankfully, we had decided to put the kayaks on the car the night before, because otherwise it would have been quite difficult since it was still pitch black out when we left. On the way, there was a lot of fog and it was hard to see. It had taken us several days…
