I just got my first kayak today. My boyfriend has been doing it for a few years and I decided that I wanted to get involved with his hobby as I do always enjoy watching him go out. I also decided to compromise with him because he knows I love snakes and doesn't complain about me keeping one even though he is not into my hobby that much. I will be going out kayaking for the very first time on Sunday weather permitting at a peaceful lake that is local to us. I am excited and can't wait to get out on the water.
