anothr one hit the water

yesterday my coho touched the water for the first time. without skeg, knee braces, hip braces, front bulkhead & some other things.

it floats ! it doesn't go in endless circles (or was it just the wind that confused me).

It was in the cannal near home. I harrased all the the ducks & birds & turtles I could find. I even made 2 of the ducks FLY away. The signs says to take it easy on the mannaties, but I didn't see any. If I did, I would surely harrass them too.

The "not proffessional looking seat & backrest" are not as bad as I thought they would be.

The thing behaves wonderful !

few months ago I had a chance to paddle a "Capella" (by P&H). I was very impressed by that kayak & I wasn't sure if the coho will have a similar behavior. I was ready to course the moment I picked this furniture. well, I do not regret. it's just as good.

I paddled for few hours. There were lots of jet skiers trying to discourage me (I think the english word for them is "bone heads") but it was darkness that finally succeeded.

whaaaaaat a feeling !

hey Rehd,

you're in the wrong business. let the singles in your church manage by themselves & put your time on a kayak.

after all, Jesus didn't walked on water, he just had a kayak !
