If you are worried about being able to handle your Kayak don't be. My Father started at age 64 and paddled from 15th ST in Newport out to the entrance on his first trip out (5 or 6 miles I think). He has had both knee and shoulder replacement surgery. You can bring a fishing crate with you and rent a kayak at Paddle Power on 15th and Balboa in Newport and go out and fish the harbor. You can get some great Ideas for a fishing crate in the rigging section on this board. The owner of Paddle Powr, Jim Smily, will take you out and give you a class on kayak basics and let you try out several models. If you need some one to go with just let me know I am available most Sudays and I would be happy to join you to help get you started.
