Boating Trip To The Bahamas

I am starting this blog about Kayaks and Boats because I would like to buy a Kayak and/or Boat. I am going to do some research find out what I want in a boat, what is useful, what are the rules, and what information I need to know.

I plan to do some traveling up the east coast and find out how I could travel the coast line to visit friends.

What is a Kayak?

Definition of kayak

: a light narrow boat that has both ends tapered to a point, is propelled by a double-bladed paddle, and often has a closed top except for an opening in which the paddler sits with the legs extended straight out in front:a : a traditional boat that is typically associated with the indigenous peoples (such as the Aleuts and Inuits) of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland, is usually made of a frame of wood or bone covered with animal skin, and is used especially for hunting and transport

…or something like this:

As a simple boating solution, kayaks are perfect for those looking to get out on the water faster and for less. Their popularity is known worldwide, as participants use this modest craft to explore lakes, rivers and the open ocean. From rotomolded plastics to open deck designs, there are a countless number of options available on the market today. Kayaks are used by anglers to sneak up on their prey; adventurers for travel and camping; and of course, by surfers to catch a wave. For those new to boating, they are a great entry level model to expedite your journey out on the water—you’ll actually be able to launch the boat by yourself with little to no prep work.

How to Choose the Right Kayak for You
Heading to the water? Your adventure begins with a kayak from DICK’S Sporting Goods.
Kayaking is a great outdoor activity for all ages and skill levels. Paddle sports can help improve cardiovascular health as well as muscle strength throughout the body. Plus, many kayakers enjoy scenic views and peaceful waters-it’s a perfect way to relax and take in nature.
Recreational kayaks are easy to use and maneuver in the water. More specialized vessels, including whitewater and fishing kayaks, are designed with utility in mind. When choosing your kayak, think about your skill level and water environment as well as storage and transportation needs.
Sit-In Kayaks: These “traditional kayaks” are designed with an interior seat. They offer easy paddling on the water and can feature storage space for your belongings.
Inflatable Kayaks: Make storage a breeze. Just deflate your vessel and skip the boat rack. These kayaks are stable and effective on the water, made with high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials as well as multiple air chambers.
Sit-on-Top Kayaks: Great for beginners or those who may have difficulty getting in and out of traditional kayaks.
Fishing Kayaks: Often come with rod holders, built-in tackle boxes and other storage features for anglers. They also offer extra stability-so anglers can stand up to cast or get a better view of activity below the surface.
Whitewater Kayaks: Compact and agile for taking on rapids and more technical water conditions. Skilled kayakers can best handle these boats.

I plan to take trip to visit my friends in the bahamas, we will be boating their and share our stories when we get back. I plan to travel with friends or make new friends to grow my network of boating experts. I would encourage people who follow me online to grow their own network of people they do business in their lives.
