Kayaking was one of my favorite activities this trip. We went kayaking in an estuary to learn about what estuaries do and what creatures live in them. Estuaries are areas of water where the salt water from the ocean and the fresh water from a river meet. They contain a lot of bivalves, which are things like clams and other creatures that can live off the soft muddy bottom sediment. Some areas in the estuary where we were were deep and pure blue while others were more shallow and covered in different plant matter. The pure blue water made it so tempting to jump in. It looked like a nice blue Gatorade on a hot day! I got to learn the proper way to kayak, which was really cool and helpful. I got to sit in the front seat and every time there was a big wave I got soaked but the water was incredible and nice and warm.
