Okay, it’s my kayak. And it never was full of eels. Due to the extended wet weather in this part of the world, combined with chilly temperatures that discourage getting into the water ([in spite of evidence that I have done, last year](http://pw1.netcom.com/~heliboy/kayaking-jan-2004.html)), my kayak was an interesting shade of green. With judicious use of a spray bottle filled with bleach, and a Dobie Pad, my kayak is white again. If the weather holds out, I think I’ll take a paddle in the bay tomorrow. 🙂 ---

If you do, don’t forget the kayak. 😃 ---

Please tell me that the little old lady in the background or the first picture is _not_ the third kayaker in the second picture! ---

Maybe two strokes of the paddle, then she feels around with her white cane; then another couple of strokes… ---

My canoe was full of people with inner ear problems. Then it wasn’t.
