Umbrella Kayaking?

Sure, it's fun!  While kayaking with friends in Florida, going down river to the gulf was easy because the current was strong. But as we got closer to the gulf the wind picked up against us and we turned around. The wind was so strong that it pulled 4 loaded kayaks upriver with only one umbrella as a sail. So that's why Florida kayakers take an umbrella!
