When I used to work for Cape Cod Kayak I would often have to load up the truck. There was a trailer that had tons of space for multiple kayaks and we used that often when we had a large group. But for the most part we would load the boats into the truck and on the ladder rack and we’d be good to go.
I miss those days when we loaded up to go on water. I wanted every day to be like that but unfortunately weather doesn’t always cooperate. So many times I had to be in the shop. I should have enjoyed my time int he shop but all I wanted to do was get on the water. Some days I would trade anything to be back in the shop learning about kayaks and selling them to people.
My favorite Kayak shop on the Cape is Cape Cod Kayak. And I know I am very biased because I worked there for a while but it really is a great shop. Kim, the owner and head guide, is a great person and very knowledgeable of Kayaks and Kayaking. She also knows where to go in the Mashpee, Falmouth, Sandwich, and Bourne as well as many towns within the area of those named towns.
Cape Cod Kayak also has a very nice event each summer and that is the lobster bake. There is also a unique event that Cape Cod Kayak hosts called the On Water Scavenger Hunt. This event is a lot of fun and is also a fund raiser for The Michael Fernandes Charity Foundation. If you want to participate contact Cape Cod Kayak and get at least $50.00 in pledges. My wife and I participated in the first On Water Scavenger Hunt a few years ago. We had an absolute blast.
The Cape Cod Kayak shop is conveniently located on 28A in Cataumet right next door to a fantastic Ice Cream Shop called Somerset Creamery. So stop over, check out the kayaks, sign up for a tour and when you are done cross the street and get a couple scoops of Cranberry Bog Ice Cream. It is Allison’s favorite flavor.
