Adventure Kayaking by David Weintraub Pdf

Cape Cod is a paddler's paradise, a sandy arm thrust into the Atlantic Ocean with numerous bays, ponds, harbors, marshes, and tidal creeks to explore. Much of the Outer Cape, the forearm pointing north, is within Cape Cod National Seashore, giving it protected status and making it a favorite place among nature lovers and one of the best birding areas on the East Coast. One of the Cape's towns, Wellfleet, was recently named one of the 50 best places for outdoor sports in the US by Sports Afield magazine. Until now, however, information on where to paddle and where to find legal parking and access to launch sites has been hard to come by.In Adventure Kayaking: Trips in Cape Cod, author and photographer David Weintraub presents 25 of the best paddling routes on the Cape, designed for novice and experienced paddlers alike. The routes range from one-hour trips suitable for beginners and children to all-day adventures and even an option for overnight camping. Most of the paddling is in protected water, but a few venture into the open expanse of Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound. This essential book includes detailed maps and trip descriptions, route distances, parking regulations and difficulty ratings as well as clear driving instructions and photos.

Sea Kayaking by John Dowd Pdf

Still regarded as “the bible” for both new and experienced kayakers after more than thirty years in print, Sea Kayaking covers the basics of equipment and technique, including types of paddles and strokes, as well as such essential skills as how to read the weather and the water, how to navigate with and without GPS and how to travel with a group. Drawing on his many years of experience paddling in all climates, John Dowd presents practical advice on dealing with potential hazards (from surf to sea ice to sharks), carrying out rescues and planning for long-distance expeditions. New for this edition are hints about digital technologies for planning and navigating while kayak touring as well as lots of tips for outfitting boats, adapting equipment and finessing fishing technique while kayak angling—whether casting and jigging for fun on a day trip or trolling for dinner on a longer expedition. Also fully updated are the sections on managing risk and the inspiring stories of adventure, including Freya Hoffmeister’s record-breaking circumnavigation of Australia and Japanese paddlers’ increasingly challenging trips around the islands and beyond. As a sport, sea kayaking continues to evolve. Once the sport of a very few long-distance paddlers embarking on international expeditions, then the recreational pursuit of many weekend tourers, sea kayaking is now popular with many day trippers as well. As more and more paddlers take to the water—for the day, the weekend or many months, this classic guide continues to be required reading for those seeking adventure on the open ocean.

Kayaking with Kids by Carole Ann Moleti Pdf

Children and families love flock to the beaches and ponds of Cape Cod but the complex ecosystems are vulnerable to damage by overzealous visitors who can do terrible harm without even realizing it. Kids love to play in sand, but can seriously damage dunes and marsh grasses, which disrupts runoff patterns, which erode beaches during storms. The delicate creatures they love to track and catch can easily be injured or killed even by moving them from one part of the beach to another that is not a suitable habitat. Water, weather, and wind are serious hazards when care is not taken in water craft. This book incorporates field tested strategies for safe kayaking and water sports, including involving children in not only enjoying but also learning about the environment. Carole Ann Moleti and her family spend winters sliding down steep, icy Northeastern slopes and summers on the lakes, rivers, beaches, and bays of Long Island Sound, upstate New York, and Cape Cod. A New York City native, she grew up on The Bronx waterfront where she learned to swim, sail, pilot a motorboat, and lifeguard. Carole's time as a resident of Boston, and many summers spent on Cape Cod with extended family, inspired her to write this guide.
