    Have you ever thought you could easily do something that turned out to be far more difficult than…read moreyou expected. Ever attempt to do something in a group and you wind up being the ONLY one who can't get it right? Well, I have never lived in that world! I've never even visited the land of 'NoCanDo', but today I got a first class ticket. THE SCENE My family and I have been looking forward to our New England visit for months, and NUMBER ONE on our must do list was kayaking with Brian S. Seriously, how hard can it be? Well, let me just say that dagnabbit yak kicked my arse so bad even my children were making fun of me. After a few minutes of basic instructions they were off and yaking like pro's. Even worse, my wife (who didn't want to do it in the first place, but was being a good sport) jumped on and had no problems. But me... not so much. It was an epic fail. EXCUSES, EXCUSES I'm telling you, that kayak was against me! Damn thing must have been rigged because I've never sucked so bad at anything in all my life. Brian said a man's center of gravity is higher than a woman's or a child, so it was natural that I would have the most difficult time. But of my 4 or 5 attempts (I lost count), each ended with a face plant in the water as my wife hysterically laughed from the shore and continually snapped pics of me sinking like the titanic! I was doing okay on my third attempt until my kids said they spotted a jelly fish and I just could not focus on anything but the water around me. Bad move. Most of my time today felt like I was in a rap video, because my favorite position seemed to be "Face down, butt up!" Yes, it's true... I TOTALLY SUCK at kayaking, but Narragansett Bay had something to do with it. I kept loosing focus due to the beauty of the bay views. Yeah, that's it, it was the Bay views and those dang winds! The water current didn't help either. I was so horribly bad Brian offered to take me to a public pool where maybe I could yak on calm waters. Can you imagine the shame of sitting in the middle of a pool with little children wondering what I'm doing... and why I can't seem to stay upright? LOL FINAL THOUGHTS In this episode of man verses yak, the yak won. But, I will be back. Why? Because I can't let my wife continue to wake up from her sleep laughing at the expression on my face as I was "going down" as she enthusiastically likes to put it. She needs her sleep and I need to get this Band-Aid off my ego. Until then Longmeadow @ Narragansett Bay, I have you in my sights. PS Local news reports say the fishing is so good here that some guy on a kayak kept trying to catch fish with his face. Wonder who that could've been? If you need further details, please feel free to ask my wife if you happen to see her. She will be more than happy to recap the entire experience! GRRRRR

    Perfect area. First time kayaking, went on a Tuesday for $30 an hr. Good parking but only…read morePortopotties. Life vest included. Little store on site with tshirts and bags for your phone to keep dry. Accommodated us without reservations which was amazing. Definitely a highlighted experience I recommend to all. Motorized boat was in the water with kayakers and they were going fast which caused us to bop around, was a bit scary for someone who can't swim in open water so keep that in mind if you're nervous around water.

    This place was great! We rented a house right down the road and it was very convenient but it's…read moreonly a 5 minute drive from downtown Narragansett as well. The check-in process was very efficient. We filled out some forms in one area, paid in another, and then got our kayak in another. We went from parking to being in our kayak in about 5 minutes. Note that we got there about an hour after it opened so it wasn't that busy yet. We drove by later in the day and it was packed, so I'd say the earlier you can get there the better. It was also hot so water, sunglasses and hats are helpful. Kayaks are in good condition and it's about a 20 minute paddle south to the north end of the Narragansett town beach. There are also motor boats around but most were very nice and gave us plenty of room. There's lots of wildlife around especially birds so would be good for pretty much anyone. Would highly recommend and would definitely go again.
