  It’s no surprise that kayaking is very popular in Florida, we’re surrounded by water. Typically, anyone with upper-body and core-strength can maneuver a kayak effectively. Below are some useful tips on your next kayak adventure. Appropriate clothing A common mistake that most beginners make is wearing inappropriate clothing while kayaking. You should take a mental note of this: dress for the water temperature…not the weather . It can get miserable wearing wet clothing for long periods of time. Quick-dry clothing will keep you dry and comfortable while you are on your adventure. Also make sure you are wearing water shoes or well-built sandals with straps. Boat Selection When going out (especially if you’re a beginner), the type of vessel you select can have a huge influence on your experience.

1) Electric eels can produce enough electricity to kill a horse. That’s kind of scary.   2) Just like how ships have a heavier bottom to keep them from capsizing, so do fish. But they are top-heavy, which is why they roll over. 3) Most fish can’t swim backwards. 4) Many fish have the ability to change gender.

If you haven’t seen ‘The Perfect Storm’ we highly suggest you watch it before reading this (spoiler alert). The movie is based off of a true story about a ship that was part of a fleet of sword fishing ships. After a long and brutal several week’s deep sea fishing in the Grand Bank, the fleet was unlikely to have much profit. One ship, ‘The Andrea Gail’, decided they would venture out to the Flemish Cap to continue fishing in hopes of making much more money. They did this despite many warnings of dangerous weather conditions. The Flemish Cap lies about 350 miles from any land formation and it is a mainly shallow area of water that divides the warm gulf-stream waters from the cold waters of the Labrador Current (current from the arctic ocean). When the crew went out this far, they didn’t realize that they would have to travel back through the warm gulf-stream waters to get back to land. Ships usually prefer to sail in to cold water when there is a storm because the cold water w

You have a greater chance of being killed by a coconut, wasp, dog, bee, and hornet than you do of being killed by a shark. Not all sharks are born from eggs, some sharks such as the Black Tip Reef Shark give live birth.  It is not uncommon for sharks to eat the eggs of their siblings when they are in the womb.  A litter of shark pups will not all have the same father. The female shark will gather sperm from multiple males to maintain a gene pool. There are many species of shark that must keep moving to avoid drowning. This is because they cannot use their gills to pump water through them quickly enough to replenish oxygen. However there is a cave near Mexico called the Cave of Sleeping Sharks where sharks can rest without having to do this. This is due to high levels of oxygen and low levels of salt. Sharks’ hypersensitivity is due to electr
