Never fear, I am still here

Hello girls and boys, did you miss me?

Don't worry, I hadn't forgotten about you or this crazy resolution o' mine.  I am still determined to be a kayaker.

In order to keep my inspiration going strong during these very cold (has anyone ever heard of snow kayaking?) winter days, I am looking for books on local kayak spots, short trips (less than a day) and kayaking with kids.  If you have any suggestions, please post them here!  

Also, I've found a local marina that rents out kayaks, even during the dead of winter, which makes me think of a 24 Hour Fitness, the most poorly named gym in the world.  Conceivably, I could be on a kayak right now, rather than sitting in my warm house on the computer.  This is exactly why I will never join 24 Hour Fitness.  "Can't sleep?  Why don't you go to the gym!"  

Anyway, the marina is Boston Harbor Marina, which is in the cutest little bay side community you've ever seen that is not in a horror movie.  My level of concern directly correlates to how far I am from A) a place to buy food and drinks; and B) a bathroom.  So you can understand my glee to learn that the BHM (as the locals call it) store sells ice cream, alcohol and seafood, and also offers public restrooms.  I may never leave. 

Kayak count: six.
