Can we find a great location while kayaking to stay at a hotel near me?

The Dove Creek Lodge is one of many kayak and boat friendly hotels near the water ways in florida. Here is someone who give a review on Yelp.com:

“This past weekend I stayed at MB Hotel formally The Dove Creek Lodge in Key Largo Florida with my infant grandaughter and wife. Since we travel exclusively to “The Carribbean” I didn’t know what to expect. WOW! We had the most amazing time. For 2 days we felt like we were in the Carribbean. The staff at MB couldn’t be more friendlier and helpful. Dee, sales director assigned us to an amazing room with a breathtaking view. The room was large and decorated to the motif of the area. Dee made sure a portacrib was in the room prior to our arrival. Dees entire staff including Alex and Katie were helpful and ACCOMMODATING. The FREE continental breakfast is what you would expect….cereal, fruit, waffles, yogurt, hardboiled eggs, coffee, tea, juices of all kinds, toast, english muffins, and bagels etc. The pool was adequate but I was told it was being redone. The area around MB has restaurants of all kinds. Souvenir shops are selling tee shirts 4 for $10 bucks. Lol There is even a Movie Theater nearby. A Publix and a Winn-Dixie are both a short drive from MB. If you look closely and do some homework you will find a few Public beaches right on your doorstep. Boats, waverunners, bikes, parachute sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing are all on the property and all around you as well. On the way home we stopped at a Key lime bakery and had a slice of Lemon Meringue pie with a lime ricky. Omg… The BEST

What accessories do you need to properly restrain a kayak on your car?

Someone come up with 10 commandments to follow when trying down a kayak. here are a few and you can read the rest on the link down below, “

1. Thou shalt allow plenty of time to ‘boat up’
Loading your kayak on your car in a rush is the first step on the road to not getting to your put in with everything in one piece. Most of us plan our paddles and you need to plan when you ‘boat up’ or get your kayak ready for transport. I tend to get my kayak on Penny the night before a paddle. I put the cross straps (the ones that work with the racks) and tie them down as I would have them while I am driving. The bow and stern lines are attached, but left slack overnight, so not to put any downward stress on the kayak while still safe in the driveway. The downward stress factor applies regardless if the kayak is composite or roto-moulded. Bottom line is leave yourself plenty of time to properly secure your kayak.

2. Thou shalt always use a cockpit cover
This is one of a few that make my blood run cold. Not using a cockpit cover, which is properly secured, not only lets all kinds of goodness knows what getting blown into your kayak, but, it’s turning your kayak into a long drag ‘chute. Imagine the amount of force driving at 60 miles per hour (96.5kmh) is (hopefully) hitting your rear bulkhead, and how much your kayak wants to try being an airplane. I have seen the lack of a cockpit cover contribute to the kayak becoming a fast moving missile that is probably aimed at the unlucky person driving behind you. I do not know what the actual speed the car was travelling; you’d probably have to ask the State Police who responded or the lawyers who litigated the situation later.” https://thepaddlermag.com/2015/11/21/the-ten-commandments-of-kayak-transport/

When you are using a car you will buy a roof rack and some strips that will help you strap down you kayak with good anchor points. After get your kayak strapped down double check by see if it can move.

Most roof racks for cars are called, ” Vault’s universal folding kayak rack is a “J-Style” rack that cradles your kayak on it’s side.”
