These are some of the kayaks carried by a store along the New Jersey Cosat called Schuykill River Outfiters.  I had never seen so many nice boats in the small room where they were housed.

This is Bob, the owner of the store who is quite a paddler himself.

I went out into the ocean for the first time with a couple of friends, first time in the salt.  We experienced 'confused seas' which was quite a good description of my mind as well.
