Night time naked kayaking.
Return to DiscussionsI love to kayak on lakes at night. It is real peaceful with no jet skies, waterskiing or fishing boats on the water. Just before I get in the kayak I get naked(except life vest). The best is with no moon so that you can see all the stars. I use red light headlamp when I need to see something or if by chance a fishing boat is out there.Also bugs are not attracted to red light. I also have a waterproof clamp-on flashlightand a waterproof spotlight in case I need to see better.
the smaller lakes around me are restricted to daylight use only and by dusk you have to be off which stinks because best time to fish in hot summer in my canoe is nighttime, and nighttime give more chance to be nude out on the water.
i celebrated Michael Phelps gold medal win by kayaking nude at night. I had watched the accomplishment on tv then went down to the lake and took off in only shorts, life jacket tucked on the back of the kayak, once away from the shore i took off the shorts and kayaked nude across the lake and back. I think there was a partial moon, maybe one other boat on the lake. I did not get near it. Cottages with lights on all around the lake. Felt exposed but safeSince he got in again, i might have to repeat the kayak run.
- Aug 7-13 I am hoping to get out every night. That is when
Perseid meteor shower is supposed to hit. I would love to get
my wife out there but unfortunately she is not a night
person. We just starting kayaking about 3 years ago. We
had just been nude boaters on Lake MI but wanted to expand our
water fun.We can kayak all year round and don't have
the hour drive. Although I have never tried to do nude
kayaking in the winter, however I was naked on a run once.
That is when I fell in and had to get out of my clothes before they
froze to me. Now I have a dry suit. - creekgeek, I went back and read some of your
posts.Reads like you have had some great times.
Us Michiganders have to get our magical moments in when we can. - backwoodsgal, we have a lake right by us too but
unfortunately it is right by a highway and I hate the vehicle
noise.So I have to go about 10 miles out of town to the
perfect lake. I would love to find a creek like your "30
miles west of Chattanooga" but we havetoo muchChicago
money buying every inch of water front.

i was not in a kayak but you mentioning the meteor shower reminded me of a story. I went out back with two webbed lawn chairs and a towel. sat the chairs facing each other with a view to the northeast. wrapped the towel around my bare shoulders to take off the cool. sat back to enjoy. I sat for a few minutes and RIPPPPP the webbing gave out in the chair i was in. Okay no worries, switch chairs ass in one, legs propped up in ripped one. Five minutes and RIPPP , chair 2 now toast. Okay i gave up back insideafter only seeing one or two shooting stars.
I am not a big guy maybe weighed 160 tops at the time. But the chairs were rescued from the old cottage and had had quite a bit of sun exposure.
Another time, a woman i was sort of seeing mentioned that she had seen what at first she thought was a shooting star, but then realized that is was part of the meteor shower. I could not figure out a diplomatic way to tell her that her statement made no sense at all, so i kept my mouth shut.
I'm not sure but I think around here we're required to have running lights. We don't have large enclosed lakes nearby. Just rivers, bayous, and open gulf. So I have running lights (bow & stern) on all my boats (sail and power) except for the kayak and canoe. And all of my night time boating experience as been under sail and power. If there's an exception to the running light rule for small paddle boats, I'm unaware of it. But I'll check. Is anyone out there in my situation (access to navigable waterways only) that knows for sure?
I do worry about a collision with another boat, so I use my running lights at night in my sail/power boats. But I think I would be ok in the paddle boats without lights if I'm super careful and stick to the edges of rivers & bayous and in water too shallow for bigger boats. I don't want to get ticketed though by the Coast Guard or Marine Patrol. if it's a paddle boat requirement too.
