Come with me to paradise...(actually Lake Herrington in southern Garrett County, Maryland) http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/western/herringtonmanor.html

It's really impossible to capture the feeling of gliding silently, effortlessly, unobtrusively, through a water garden as big as the world... but we will try anyway.

Notice how close I am to the water. This is a "sit on top" kayak. It has no walls, but is like little raft--just 8 feet long and 2-1/2 wide.
