Croc,

>>then set up some little gizmo like a windshield washer jet
hooked up to a bottle of cool, clear water to spray the odd
shot of water over me while I sit and watch tapes on TV....<<

You left out the high intensity tanning lights for the
sunburn. : )

Yeah, I read a little more of this thread last night and
seem to share the feelings of the reasons you gave for
paddling >>However, from the water, you are barely
aware of any of the "landscape" beyond the cattails and bullrushes that form a tall "hedge", or the dense willows and green ash that
overhang the creek. From the canoe, you just see blue heron, large colonies of water lilies, abundant birdlife... and all of this often with 300 feet of someone's house as you glide silently by. Perhaps that image will give you an idea of why my alias is "crocodile"... Picture a dark green canoe silently gliding alongside of a riverbank to snap a close-up of a Jersey cow that is bending through the reeds to drink from the creek...and that is me...the crocodile that hunts with a camera.. (-: <<<

I kept telling my wife that in the kayak I experienced the REAL
Florida and how peaceful or adventurous it could be. Like gliding
up to a mangrove shoreline that is inaccesable by land, without
the disruptive churning and sound of a motor; paddling with my
fishing line out and catching numerous small, jump in the air
barracudas; watching a large dorsal fin appear 10 yards in front
of me and slowly submerge in a couple seconds while I stare in
delightful dumbfounded awe..........

Bob
