That sounds a lot more enjoyable than what I tried to do the last time I rented there. It was a workout and I ran out of time before I made it very far.

Give those folks a try, I hear they are good folk. Whatever you do stay away from Oak Orchard those people are scum!!!!!
I recommend staying away from the 10ft yaks those are just toys. If you want to camp out of your kayak I would recommend at least 12 ft.

I recommend staying away from the little 10ft wiggle boats.(10 ft boats wiggle back and forth in the water) I started out in a 10ft wiggle boat years ago and quickly moved on to a real kayak.

yeah, they definitely do wiggle more. not a big deal if you are just following the current on the irondequoit creek but a real pain in the ass if you are trying to paddle a few miles.

I just finished a 4 day trip to Algonquin and I use every inch of space. That was in my 14' 6" Necky Manatou

i'd love a 14.5 with a front and back hatch for trips like that. hopefully some day i can justify that purchase and have time to make those trips happen.

Now leaning towards this one. http://m.dickssportinggoods.com/prod...uctId=12586135

I'd upload some more pictures of Algonquin that would help nudge your decision but I have nothing but trouble uploading pictures to here. Not sure how I got that other pic up. They usually error out on me.

[usmcveteran]

Are they huge file sizes? That might be why

[LibertyOrDeath]

They are just regular photos. It seems to always say that my photos are over 2mb and error.

Because of my back limitations I no longer use my canoe. I've got a 17' Coleman if you're interested.

Where abouts are you? PM pics and price if you get a chance.

I did order the roof rack for my car and a pulley for garage storage

I'm about 15-20 minutes from CG.....Orange County.

I'll try to take some pix for you.

Water!

Also, when you get the life preserver, get one made for kayaking.

If you've never been in a kayak before, I highly recommend renting a few times, and trying different sizes each time to see if you even like it. Also look at the cockpit opening. They come in different sizes. The larger openings are a LOT easier to get in and out of, but offer less protection in lousy weather. You can also get spray skirts that "clip" over the lip of the cockpit to keep crud out, but keep in mind that they also keep heat IN.

I've done a week camping trip out of a 16' sea kayak, and I've done the same with a canoe. They're two different animals, for sure.

Bonus: you can fit a full size cooler in a canoe.
