Kayaking at Night

August 26, 2014

Last week was a full moon and I just happened to be near a lake.  What else could I do!?!?  I had to give night kayaking a try.

Was it fun??  Check out these photos.

The photo above was taken by my friend Andy Baird. He operates an excellent site for RV’ers at http://andybaird.com/

It was an absolute blast and thing of beauty.  Seeing the sun set from the water is always great.  The water was still and smooth. I don’t usually stay up very late at night but this is one event for which I will happily change my routine. It was a wonderful experience that I will most certainly be repeating in the future!

There are no real requirements for a kayak on the water at night, at least that I could find.  The USCG recommends a flashlight “at the ready”.  So, I had one at the ready.  My friend had a couple small strobe lights that he attached to his PFD which I thought was an excellent idea.  Otherwise, using common sense and simply being safe is the bomb.  Obviously, I would not try this on a lake or waterway that has a lot of power boat traffic.
