Finding a kayak to rent or a guided tour to take along the 190-mile Calusa Blueway canoe and kayak trail just got easier.

We’ve always listed available outfitters in Lee County at www.calusablueway.com/articles/outfitters. We tell you where they are and a bit about them, plus we offer directions they provide. But in the past, you had to take the extra step to call them or search the Web for their sites.

Now the links are there for you to click on so you can plan your outing faster.

It’s good news, considering the long Presidents’ Day weekend this year coincides with Valentine’s Day. Grab your friend or sweetheart and go paddling.

Happy paddling.
