Kayaking isn't what I've done the most. However, there is a certain kind of zen about it. Kinda like singlehanded sailboat sailing. It's just you and the element.

That sensation, - the calmness of singlehanded sailing, - can be recreated in SL. The same goes for kayaking (and
canoeing), and if the scenery is right, it's truly a breathtaking experience.

| Ocean right here, mountains in the back. |
However, it takes a rather good computer, as the viewing distance must be set high in order to see those distant mountains.
 |
| What kinda canoe is it? |
I did a bit of kayak-polo in RL. This kayak here does not resemble those kayaks. It doesn't look much like the ocean kayaks they use in the local kayak club either. It's a little too big for my preference, but that doesn't change the kayaking sensation much.

Perhaps it's the right size for sailing an ocean with waves and such. I dunno. In any case, it feels quite safe to sail, and I'd recommend it after af hefty day at work. Unless ofcourse you have access to a real kayak.

| Seagulls are forever in motion |
After a kayaking trip it's always nice to sit and think. Maybe rest a bit before sailing back. Luckily it's SL, so teleporting is also an option.
