It's about time, bayous aren't too swollen, it's not raining, and I'm in town. Can't wait to get out there paddle around, bs with my kayak buddy, drink some cervezas and just chill out. 4951

That sounds fun! I just saw kayak rowing lessons on Amazon Local Deals. I don't have one but I learn quick!  I bet that's great for the upper body! 4951

My daughter and  I did a little kayaking in Oklahoma last week. It was only 2.5 miles but boy did my arms hurt the next day - in a good way though. It was a great experience for a us beginners. 4951

@TheTruthHurts: Unless you're going to go white water, I wouldn't waste the money.  Paddling our local rivers and lakes is easy as pie.  DW is 10 and has been paddling her own kayak for 5 years.  Just stay in the bayous where the ski boats can't run you over.  If you do go out on the lake, stay to the edges for the same reason.  When a boat goes by, angle your nose into the wake because taking the wave against your side could tip you.   The only issue you'll have is that once you start paddling...you'll never want to stop.  ;-)

We ended up at a little marina on the very north end of lake conroe. It was a nice little place. We originally thought about cypress creek but log jams was a concern with the recent flooding. Decided to wait until we know it's passable. 4951

DW is 10
 
@shodan66: Umm...creepy typo.  That should say "DD is 10".  DW is...older.

@Francita: We're thinking about hitting Luce Bayou in the morning.  DW is out with the girls tonight so we'll see if she can get out of bed or not.  ;-)

Do you ever see gators and if so, do they ignore you or watch you? What happens? 4951

@SenseOfHumor:
 
I've seen a few. I stay away from them. I also don't purposely go to waters known to be gator infested, but most waters in this region have a few gators. I saw one in the San Jac just west of 59, and Raven Lake near Huntsville. 4951

@SenseOfHumor: I've seen them several times out around East End Park.  Like all wild critters, they prefer to keep their distance.  The gators around here aren't like the ones up at Chain O' Lakes that are fed daily by people or down at Brazos Bend where they see people every day.  I've never felt like they were particularly afraid of me, but I've never been threatened by them, either.  I think the only real danger is if you crowd a female on her nest and that's going to be on land.  I certainly wouldn't let it keep me from getting out and enjoying nature if I were you.

This thread inspired me to look up kayaking lessons and I found this for Wednesday evenings.
