  Canoe vs Kayak
  Posted by: bellmagic on Jan-14-11 5:05 PM (EST) 

I've been in and out of both Canoes and Kayaks for over 50 years, and have to admit to a preference for the canoes.I currently have 2 tandem canoes, a solo canoe, and a sea kayak in the garage, and will go out in whatever suits the conditions, but prefer the canoes. You can't put the family dog, the kids, a cooler, a tent; and the parents in a kayak. There are times a wind skirt would be nice on a windy day in the solo canoe, but I just adjust direction of travel. I just feel the canoes are a little more usable, especially with a family.
