that's a good idea. I hadn't thought about doing that. Or you could leash the paddle to the kayak so it doesn't float away should you and the kayak become separated.

Now that our state stopped making you have to buy a boat license for your kayak (that stupid rule has been in place for years and years), I'm thinking about getting a kayak. I love to be on the water and love borrowing friend's kayaks whenever I can. The whole buying a boat license just bugged me and I wasn't going to do it.
