Kayaking on Richardson Bay is always a great experience. Six ladies, all new to kayaking, joined ChildReach on a 5-hour sea-kayaking voyage.
The folks at Environmental Traveling Companions, most of them teen-aged leaders and volunteers, have an uncanny ability to make first time water sporters feel confident, safe, and capable.
Our trip leader, Cheyenne, took us through avenues of house-boats. All of them were so curiously shaped and colored. We saw red houseboats, green house-boats, tall boats, triangular house-boats, long house-boats, and crooked house-boats. It was an absolute wonder that people lived in these houses that float serenely on water. They looked like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.
Our second special treat of the day was seeing harbor seals; we were witness to a baby seal nursing on his mother. It was such a beautiful and touching sight.
I hope that other first-timers will join us on a field trip in the future.
