North Carolina, or as our hero, Captain Quack, preferred to call it - The Land of the Wild Blue Yonder, was a place shimmering with magic. Captain Quack was no ordinary duck, he was a duck with a dashing red bandana and a heart brimming with adventure. His favorite stomping ground was the frothy rapids and serene rivers of NC, where he led a merry band of pint-sized paddlers, the Kayaking Kiddos. The Kayaking Kiddos were a lively bunch of kids who loved two things above anything else - laughter and kayaking. If they weren’t peeling echoes of laughter off the trees, they were slicing through the water with their vibrant kayaks like peppy dolphins. From the mysterious marshes of the Coastal Plains to the bubbling brooks of the Appalachian Mountains, they paddled, splashed, and giggled their way across the state. Their leader, Captain Quack, although a feathered friend, was a master in maneuvering through the watery labyrinth. He would quack out instructions, roar with laughter and occasionally wear a water lily as a hat, while the children bobbed behind him like a row of cheerful rubber duckies. With each stroke of their paddle, the water would splash up and tickle their noses, leaving them in fits of giggles. Paddling under the radiant sun, while the cool water kissed their feet and the wind played with their hair, was their idea of the greatest adventure. And in the heart of North Carolina, with Captain Quack leading the way, the Kayaking Kiddos found a place where childhood was a joyous journey down a river of fun.

For the past twenty years, the Watkins have been passionate about boating and the great outdoors. Eight of those years were spent sailing in some of the world's most beautiful locations. But when they discovered Jordan Lake, located in the Triangle region of North Carolina, they knew they had uncovered a special treasure. With its 180 miles of shoreline, full of jumping fish and soaring bald eagles, it was the perfect place to experience true quality time. The Watkins have made it their mission to share the wonders of Jordan Lake and the outdoors with other families and children. They are committed to making sure that visitors to the lake can enjoy its beauty without it being ruined by housing or development. Don and Heidi believe that spending time in nature is an invaluable experience, and they are proud to share it with their customers and friends.
