Welcome to the world of KAYAKING

We have been talking about buying kayaks for some time, but the new ones were expensive... while in La Cruz, Banderas Bay, we learned of a boat in Nuevo Vallarta with two kayaks for sale!  A good buy with seats and paddles included, we decided to take the plunge... well, Alice had already taken the plunge in 2008 when she fell out of Barry's kayak on her maiden voyage... but back to our kayak story. The boater was kind enough to drive his boat over to the marina near our anchorage and deliver the kayaks since we had no vehicle for transport.  Getting them onboard was a trick, but in time Bill had stainless steel holders made and now they grace the bow of Grey Wolf nicely.  It is a two person job to get them in and out of the water, but we are tough!

Alice and friend Gina took off one morning for an adventure in Bahia Concepcion. She was so very kind to tow her kayak with her dinghy from their anchorage some distance away~ what a gal... she was rewarded with her whale shark sighting that day!  We went along the shallows and saw tons of seaweed, some coral, Sargeant fish, and starfish.  On the way back we checked out a good-sized rookery island where both seagull and pelican chicks were hopping about under the watchful eye of their parents... a very neat experience~  I'd considered taking a camera but was afraid it would wind up in the drink~~ what a shame...
