So much for the GAS fund. It's New Kayak(s) Day :shock:

Sold my Old Town canoe last week and bought two new kayaks and assorted paraphernalia today, so the GAS might have to simmer for a bit. 8)

It's all good,
Joe

Nice!

We still have our family-friendly (read: stable) Pungo kayaks. Lots of flat
water opportunities around here.

Tough call sometimes, staying inside playing the guitar or heading outside
for a hike or paddle or... which is why we like the warm weather and small,
packable guitars!

We'll have a sunset paddle on a local lake to break them in on Tuesday.
After 30 years of paddling my 17'2" Old Town Canadienne, I'm really looking forward to the ease of handling of these kayaks, which weigh in at almost 40 pounds lighter!
It was a great canoe but the herniated disc was growing tired of rolling almost 80 pounds onto my shoulders (not to mention the torn rotator cuffs)

When the weather's nice around here, it's almost criminal to stay inside.

We have a pair of those "emotion" kayaks . . . they're fun little knock-around boats.

I still prefer carving water behind an inboard ski boat, but the kayaks sure make it easier to get closer to wildlife. :mrgreen:

Got within about 25 feet of a trio of loons last fall (two adults & a juvenile), on an unusually warm mid-October day after most powerboats had left the lake for the season. We saw them approaching our area, & sat motionless while they meandered past our kayaks. No camera that day, unfortunately.
