Water Sports

My father has been sailing all his life (I'm relatively new to it) and understands how to do it. We've been given and old boat by a friend to repair. The paneling is cracked on top and stuff, but its structurally very strong. I'd love to help out because it seems like a great proccess, but I would like to have more knowledge about it so i understand why we're doing what we're doing!

So. Any books?

I just moved to Maryland and live right on a river, with lots of creeks nearby. At the local kayak store they recommended a recreational kayak, the Pungo 120, but I'm looking for some unbiased opinions. Once I'm comfortable in the kayak, I'd like to take my dog (35 lb mixed breed) with me - she's got a life jacket and has been canoing many times, so I know she'd love this - so any additional advice on kayaking with a dog, or kayaks good for human plus dog, would be appreciated.

I was just wondering if anyone knows where I could try out Kayaking with a rental and good lessons in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I do not want to invest in a new one unless I know I like it and I know what I am doing!

I am going tubing in two days with some friends, last time I went i was left behing in the river and went so slow. The whole time i was pushing the water with my hands to go faster. What do you think of tying tubes together? Is it safe or not?

If so, were you happy or unhappy with it? Is it tipsy or stable? Does it take on water? Thanks so much!

I'm looking to buy a kayak but I don't want to spend a ton of money because it's something I'm just getting into. I would like a two seater and it seems that the only ones in my price range are inflatable. I'll mostly be taking it out on a smallish lake that doesn't have huge waves. Do you think an inflatable kayak would be worth the money?

I can get in and out of my yak when in open water no problem, and I can get in easily by wading into the water when that's an option. But when I'm paddling in lakes filled with human or cow dung, I have trouble getting in from banks or docks. Every time I have to "portage" I find it tough, especially if I am holding a half-rack of brew in addition to the yak. I paddle flat water around farmland, and I also enjoy paddling in areas that are polluted by industry and raw sewage, so getting soaked in "cow water" and industrial/human waste is something I wish to avoid.
