My wife and I just took the plunge and got 2 sit-in kayaks. We've never been sea kayaking before, and aren't likely to, but we've been kayaking in the Ozark foothills and the Blue Ridge Mountains and have always wanted our own to take out when we want. We're really excited about doing some kayak camping when the weather cools down. We live in the Mississippi delta area of the Gulf of Mexico coast, so we'll be doing a lot of wetland kayaking, so swamps, marshes, bayous, snakes, alligators, and various swarms of blood-hungry insects await us. While we're used to hiking/wading in the these conditions to a small degree, we aren't sure about the implications of kayaking. Does anyone here have any experience with wetland kayaking as opposed to sea/lake/river kayaking? We have plenty of baby artificial lakes here in town to sort of get a sense of handling the new kayaks for a few weeks or months before we actually take them out on the bayou for a real trip, and we'd love to do some sort of kayak camping trip come November when the temperature dips below 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
