NJ Kayak

8/3-8/6/07

NJ Kayak brought a group of it’s customers to Sedge in order to help its paddlers better appreciate the natural environment they frequently paddle in. Everyone had their own single sea kayak complete with spray deck. This, combined with their expertise, made it possible to paddle farther in more challenging conditions than the average Sedge group.

Bucking a strong incoming tide on the edge of the Oyster Creek Channel is never easy. Dealing with power boat traffic on a beautiful Saturday morning made it even more challenging. This group stroked hard to get to the outer side of the dike for some well deserved rest. A potential thunder storm made us leave the early but it never materialized.

Always a highlight for me is the ability to introduce people to new things. It was a real treat to watch one member of the group catch his first fish. A professor from Temple University was very proud when he landed not one but two bluefish. He ate ‘em too!
