    I would love to go kayaking and what a perfect place to get yours out for the first time this year. Always looks so relaxing and with that scenery real cool just to chill out and do a bit of fishing. Fish or no fish no problem, to get a day out like that, in a place like that sure is one blessing, cheers Alan
