Harbor Seal
Harbor seals are not uncommon in the winter, but kayaking is, so don’t expect to encounter them when you are out for a paddle.
Common Dolphin
On the other hand, the Common Dolphin prefers warmer weather, and can be seen all through kayaking season. They go south for the winter.
These are some mammals you are likely to see in and around the water.

You’d be surprised where you can get a good kayak nowadays. Like these places:
Dick’s and West Marine have good selections of kayaks, parts, and accessories. Walmart and Tractor Supply also have a kayak selection, in-season. I hate to say it, but sometimes you can find good deals at Amazon too. Many Walmarts also have live earthworms for fishing.
It’s just a matter of time before they show up at your local supermarket. (Kayaks, not earthworms. Maybe earthworms, if Bill Gates gets his way. Yum!)
