Never Paddle Alone!
By Jakob Jelling
An important thing to remember about kayaking is that you
should never paddle alone.
One of the biggest rules of thumb when it comes to
kayaking is that you should never paddle alone. The
reasons for this are many, but most of all, if you make
sure that you have somebody with you, then you`ll be able
to stay safe in almost any situation. Having an extra
person with you means that if something happens to one of
you, the other one will be there to help out - either
with the first aid kit, with going for help, or even just
by being somebody on the other end of a throw rope.
Never paddle alone is a good idea for other reasons as
well. For instance, if you`re going to be kayak touring,
chances are good that you`ll see a lot of amazing things -
and it`s always good to have another person there to
share them with you. Plus, it will likely be a fun and
exciting event to share with your friend.
Another thing that you should consider is that if you
never paddle alone, then you`ll be able to go kayaking in
the wilderness without feeling too lonely. After all, it
can be very lonely to be alone out on the water with just
you and your kayak. If you have another person to talk
to, you`ll more than likely have more fun out there.
You will also have somebody nearby to encourage you if you
start to feel at all discouraged. For that reason, if you
never paddle alone, you`ll probably be better able to go
kayaking without getting discouraged and stopping. This
is a good thing to keep in mind if you are going to be
kayaking in an area where the going might get a little
rough - the last thing you want is to be stuck somewhere
alone, and not want to continue.
Finally, and most obviously, never paddle alone is told as
a general rule because it is the best way to make sure
that you will be safe when you are kayaking. In addition
to this, however, you should make sure that other people
who are not accompanying you on your trip also know where
you will be kayaking. That way if anything happens, the
emergency teams will know where to look for you.
However, if you make sure that you never paddle alone,
then chances are good you`ll be able to have a safe, fun
time on the water.
