How often are you on the water? - Page 2

I spend well over 100-120 a year paddling (and have for nearly 20 years)....kayaks, rafts, and canoes

Short answer- never enough! This year has stunk so far, with all the rain. Rivers have been high and muddy a lot of the time, and our small business has been extremely busy.

On the bright side, I have a friend coming from out of town next weekend, and we plan to do some target shooting, fishing and canoeing. I have a bad enough case of cabin fever to not care if there's a monsoon going LOL.

I'm planning to get out a coupel vevenings a week to paddle and do some hiking a couple other times a week to try to get back in shape. My friend and I are looking at hiking about a 30 mile section of the AT in Virginia next summer, so I'd better get these 56 year old legs in shape!

Usually twice a month maybe three depends where we are going, but I make sure to be on the water once a month, except in the hot summer month's I prefer swimming then.

Not enough is my answer too as we don't live near the water any more. I was born in a seaside town and I miss it. We almost left the UK to live on the water in Europe a few years ago, but sadly it was not to be.

I spend a lot of time on airboats in the everglades, but I do like to canoe as well. It's easier to get close to animals and wildlife without the loud sound of the fan. I probably go out at least once a week right now. While it's this hot out, I prefer to be in the water as opposed to on it.

Our Chicago summers are short, so I try to get out once a week from May through September. I also try to do an overnight or destination trip once a month. Cold weather has kept me off Lake Michigan so far this year, but I hope to change that tomorrow night and paddle under the full moon

In my opinion, never enough. I would be out on the water every day. Maybe someday I will have my dream life. In the meantime, life is good, just not enough water.

At least three or four times a week since I got my kayak a couple months ago. With the canoe it was only once or twice at most owing to the difficulty in transporting the thing. Depends a little on the weather, of course, don't mind a mist or two, but not much into braving lightening or high winds. Thinking i need a second yak for next year as I'd like to try creeking or whitewater type activity. Gotta get in as much as I can, the days already are growing too short and the leaves have already started to change their hue.

Hi...

Very rarely. Had a few float trips down the Delaware River last summer.

Have owned four boats...made two of them...had one stolen...sold two of them, and don't recall what happened to the remaining boat.

I love rowing, so might start in again...we'll see.

Never throw a hand grenade uphill.

I used to be able to go dang near everyday as I was able to store my kayak at my apartment. I have since moved and the storage units will not fit my 14 foot Tsunami. I am looking at a 10 foot liquid logic remix as it will suit my weekend river running trips here in Michigan and will also offer me the ability to store it right at my apartment.

My dream which I hope to realize one day is to live or have access to a small lake or river system so I can paddle daily. Paddling is a great stress relief and no matter what I would have to face that day or had faced would be forgotten on the water.
