We went kayaking last Sunday. This was the first time I have been kayaking. It was pretty fun and was definitely good exercise.
The kayaks were rented in Lake Union at the Northwest Outdoor Center. We headed over to the Arboretum (in a double kayak). In the Arboretum we saw, at close range, a Great Blue Heron, a duck with many ducklings in tow, and a lot of turtles (mostly Red-Eared Sliders, I think). These are marked on the map by white, red, and yellow circles, respectively. The Great Blue Heron even caught a fish when we were there. Unfortunately, I did not get good pictures of any wildlife.
After touring around the Arboretum for a while, we headed back. Estimates place the route at a little more than seven miles.
