Help with ascii kayaker

Ok, here's what I've done on my own.  I don't like the way the
paddle looks, I'd like to make this looks a little more 3D than
2D.

 /  /  /\  /  /
 /  / |0 |     /  /   
  ()-- Y ---()
 /  / |  |  /  /
  / /  \/   /  /


Thanks for your help,

That's about as close as I can get it.

      .;  :: /     /
     ;;  ::/ /   /
 -..;'   /\  /  /
  /  /  |/\|  /   //   
  (~)===o()o===(..
  /   / |\/|  /.;;'
    / /  \/    ;;
  /  /     /  /;;
    /  /    /  ';;

This is the previous ascii kayaker with a few minor additions.  I am not 
sure, however, of what a kayak looks like from above, specifically the 
area where the kayaker sits.  
	The Things off to his/her left/right are supposed to be boulders, 
but it takes some imagination.
	This didn't add much to it, and might just have made it a little 
too 'busy'.  Oh well.

Your overhead kayak picture gave me a few ideas:


View of a bear climbing a tree...

And if you want to turn this picture into a movie just use the 
"type", "list" or "cat" command and those lil' ol' bicycles will 
just mosey along - before your very eyes !  An animation...you
could even put it into an endless loop and use it as a Screen
Saver !  :-)
