    My family of 5 just returned from a 2 hour sunset kayak trip with Jan Kretz AKA the Adventuress. We had canoed as a family but not done a group kayak tour previously. We picked Jan based on the fantastic reviews on this site. After some basic safety lessons and paddling tips we were off. What an amazing experience to view the coast from the water, especially from the tranquility of a kayak. We paddled for an hour, watched the beautiful sun set, then meandered back. It was an absolutely stupendous way to end the day. Can't wait to go again!!!!
