Will I get wet?
Even on a calm day you are very likely to get a damp bum at least!
So wear something you don't mind getting wet. You will also need to paddle into the water to embark your kayak.

That's about the only question really- if I get any more I will be sure to write them here!
I've had another question;
What's the difference between a kayak and a canoe?
Well, I have always considered it to be that a kayak uses a double bladed paddle whereas a canoe uses a single bladed paddle.
The Encyclopedia Britannica states that kayaks originated with the Eskimos and were made of streched sealskins. Canoes, on the other hand originated with the North American Indians and were made of stretched tree bark.
Kayaks tended to be closed decked and could be righted without taking in water, hence the term "Eskimo Roll". Whereas canoes took a more open form with a higher freeboard.
Today canoe and kayak tend to mean one and the same thing for most people.
Hope this has cleared the debate up. If anyone has any other ideas ... keep them to yourself! Only joking- let me know.
