mr Horton, its funny how besides up in maine on the ocean, I never really noticed kayaks before. I was in BJ's last night, they had 4 different plastic kayaks, and today, I drove over to the Nautical Mile in Freeport LI, just a long canal with boats and bars, restaurants, pubs, and I was suprised how many kayakers were paddling down the canal, all ages, alot of seniors also.
