A group of several hundred kayakers cross the Sound from Norwalk, Connecticut to the north shore of Long Island and return as they raise money for local and national charities. The current route for the crossing is 12.5 miles long and leaves from Calf Pasture Beach in East Norwalk , Connecticut and lands in Crab Meadow Park in Northport, New York . Depending on factors such as tides, current, and wind, the route can take an average paddler between two and four hours to complete. To participate in the event, the organization requests that paddlers be comfortable in very open waters , and in reasonably good shape. All first time participants are required to attend a kayak safety course a few weeks before the launch. Each year, the KFAC organization picks five charities in Connecticut and Long Island. In 2007, for instance, the charities were the Hole in the Wall Gang , Outward Bound of Connecticut, Cancer Care of Connecticut, Courage to Speak Foundation, a drug prevention organization for children and Save the Sound, an environmental organization.

Image Sea otter hunters 1896.jpg thumb right 200px Aleut people Aleut men in Unalaska in 1896 , with waterproof kayak gear and garments The Aleutian Baidarka or Aleutian kayak was the watercraft created by the native Aleut people Aleut or Unangan people of the Aleutian Islands . The Aleut people were surrounded by treacherous waters and required water transportation and a hunting vessel. Due to the geography and climate of the Aleutian Islands, trees and wood were in scarce supply and the people relied primarily on driftwood to create the framework of the kayak, which was covered with the skins of sea mammals. Two types of boats were created, one with a covered deck, the hunting kayak and another that was open and capable of carrying goods and people from one island to another. Before the arrival of the Russia ns, the one hole bidarkas kayaks were found in abundance, along with some two hole boats. The Russian influence, due their presence on the islands to hunt fur bearing animals, on the design of the kayaks was significant and resulted in three hole kayaks. These were probably configured with the stern man paddling and guiding the craft, while the bow man was responsible for using the throwing board in the hunt, with the hunt boss in the middle directing the hunt. Some characteristics of these early kayaks are best described in the words of Veniaminov from the island of Atka in 1840 blockquote ...The baidarki of the present day Aleuts are no longer as perfect as those of the former Aleut riders. At that time, in the hands of excellent riders, they were so speedy that birds could not outrun them.
