Blue skies, a warm breeze and calm waters were all on the agenda during the Kayak Cruising social. With planes soaring overhead, we put our muscles to work, paddling our way toward the many Toronto islands. Sdrivers, part of a larger group including social kayak regulars and newbies alike, came out in good spirits to take in some of Toronto's lesser-seen sights.
The two-hour tour, which started at the Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre, led us throughout islands large and small, making it easy to forget we were a stone’s throw from the downtown core. Heading back at the end of the tour, it was obvious there's no better view of Toronto than the one you get cruising on Lake Ontario.
Back on the mainland with a great workout under our belts, it was time to dig in to the BBQ and wrap-up the event. With lots of fresh air, good food and great people, Kayak Cruising turned out to be an awesome event.
If you didn't get a chance to come out, I definitely recommend checking out Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre on your own this summer. Social Paddles (with BBQ) happen every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday starting at 6pm and welcome beginners and pros alike. If it’s your first time, just be sure to bring a partner for a tandem (double) kayak. Whether you hit the water with a friend or solo, you’re guaranteed to have a blast!
