Spencer J asked:


I want to go on a one night canoe trip. I have done a few sections of the James, my favorite is the Balcony Falls run. If I did this section again, would it be better to start above it, or go past it in order to make the total trip about 25 miles? If you have another suggestion, I am more than open to it.

I live in southern california and would like to buy a kayak that i could use out on the pacific ocean but also in the local bays. Eventually after gaining enough stamina i’d like to paddle to Catalina (13 miles) with some friends. I was wondering what type of kayak is best suited for use in the ocean.

Can you suggest some Kayaking in MN or WI?

Captain Whiskerboy Litterbox asked:


My girlfriend and I both have 17′ sea kayaks and don’t know where to go in late May for some scenic kayaking.

We want it to be more of a touring trip (4-7 days long) with a lot of relaxing and wilderness exploration (via land/hiking or by ship, too).

Last August we went to Voyageurs National Park for 5 days…and wow that was amazing.

We would be cool with anything (lake/sea/river) that would allow our kayaks through with easy maneuvering and such…(i.e. avoid high class rapids if possible, if considering river destinations).

Only stipulation is, we’re located in Minneapolis, MN and don’t want to take the 5 hour drive up to Voyageurs. We’d drive that if necessary, but would rather not…something around 1-3 hours sounds ideal.

Any suggestions on where we should go? Thanks a bunch!

I will be using it for fishing, touring/camping trips and also to go snorkelling from. I am undecided but do like the look of the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 and the Ocean Kayak Prowler 13 Angler. I am leaning towards the Prowler. Any suggestions please?
