We purchased our Kayaks this fall from Mountain Man Sports in Thendara when they were having their big end of season sale. Therefore, we haven't even had a chance to try them out!! Can't wait for spring (: I am a big dragonfly/damselfly enthusiast and thought you might enjoy knowing that the dragon on your Kayak is a male Autumn Meadowhawk (formerly called a Yellow-legged Meadowhawk). They are in the Skimmer family and there are many varieties of Meadowhawks. They are the most "friendly" of any that I have ever come across and certainly have the characteristics that you describe. I will often sit by my wildlife pond in the Tug Hill and have many land on my skin. They are also late in the year flyers and hang on until the bitter end of the season when you will often see them on the sides of dark colored buildings soaking in the heat to keep them warm. If you ever want to look anymore up, my friend has a website called NJ Odes. Even though we don't live in NJ, many of the Damsels and Dragons are the same. Thank you for your wonderful Blog. I will continue to enjoy it as we get ready for the next Kayaking season!<br />GinnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663939638226779880.post-8163202434648078772010-09-21T15:03:38.987-04:002010-09-21T15:03:38.987-04:00Hi Ang!

It is a blue tandem Mainstream Escapade... and dragonflies have landed on both the hull and my knee while I'm paddling! Most dragonfly activity seems to be confined to when I am paddling near marsh or swampy areas. BTW... just purchased a "new" used Aquafusion Liberty 13 kayak (Have a post about it)and it is bright yellow. I'll let you know if the little critters like the color yellow as much as they seem to like blue! ;-)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957689266739581501noreply@blogger.com
