[Sportsandrec] Sportsandrec Digest, Vol 101, Issue 1

[Annemarie]

Hi Arielle, I have kayaked a couple of times with my husband in a double. 
1. Wear a lifejacket.  Best to think safety. If you are doing white water, I reocommnd a helmet.
 
2. If you are the only blind person, I would be part of a double.  Same principle as a tandem bike.  You provide the power and sighted person keeps you on course.  Rocks are just as bad to hit as a moving car when biking.
 
Have a greattime!
