I love to kayak.  I won a great kayak in a charity drawing I donated to.  
Wow that's great! Sounds like you know about how to store it in the winter. I hear on the ground isn't a good idea...?
Well, here in Ohio, when winter comes, the mice look for a nice place to winter.  Apparently an upside down kayak is a good place.
I bet! what a surprise when you lift it up! Do you use a rack to store it ?
Now I do!!  It was a mouse condo.  And boy did it stink!
Ha! Yuck! Where do you like to kayak? I hear the Big Darby Creek is popular.
Yes, it is.  We go to several local rivers near home.  I have learned a lot of my kayaking lessons the hard way.  Always have a paddle leash!  Haha
Sounds like something a beginner should know! How long ago did you start kayaking? 
Right after I won the kayak.  It has a compartment big enough to bring my little dog.  He loves it, too!  You should try it.  I bet you'd love it, too.
I bet. I'm sorry, ,my prior message sounded like I was criticizing.. I was thinking it's a good tip for a beginner!
Not at all!  I thought it was funny.
thanks. :) Thats great you take your dog. He must love the water
