"Row, row, row your boat, just not down Main Street in Manayunk. That’s the message police are sending after arresting two men who used a raft as an alternate means of transportation down the flooded street Sunday.

"CBS 3 reporter Dray Clark caught up with Pete and Pat, best friends and roommates from Manayunk, who paddled their way down the water covered street. 'I thought, Main Street floods a lot, go get a raft and float down,' said Pat, who admitted the idea was his.  Minutes later, Philadelphia police stopped the men and hauled them away in handcuffs...”

"A father and son in Texas got quite a ride while fishing in a kayak off the Galveston coast.

"It's apparently a new fishing challenge in the area, and thanks to their video camera, they can share with the world their catch of a seven-foot shark.  'Super scary and crazy,' is how Hunter described the ordeal. 'Instead of us using all of our energy to try to pull the shark, the shark pulls the kayak. It's called the Texas sleigh ride,' said Kevin..."

The last documented kayak trip across Lake Ontario was in 2007, when Ed Mahony paddled across the lake in 16 hours..."

"A crew from California has already captured the respect of their peers.

"They paddle in unison, *tuning in* to the sound of their blades hitting the ocean together, while *feeling* the moving water beneath their feet. Timing is crucial in canoe paddling especially for this group. 'The canoe is the perfect place for them to just be comfortable,' said Kirsten Williams. They are like no other crew in this year's Queen Liliuokalani Canoe Race. The men and women in this club share a common bond besides their love for the sport, they are all blind..."

"More then 350 lakes stretch across Douglas County. It is Tom Johnson’s goal to kayak them all.   'I didn’t have any training for it, I just knew I wanted to do it,' said the Alexandria resident. 'I talked to a friend of mine who kayaks and he gave me a few pointers but that was all. Before I talked to him I tipped it a few times'..."
