: I left too soon! I didn't get to paddle the King. :(

: If Joe had only asked, I would gladly have taken it out into the tide rip to
: teach the navigation class!! (I don't think he'd yet paddled it himself
: Sat. afternoon)

Joe took the King on the group paddle over to Port Hudson. There was some funky water coming to and going from the port. The rest of us stayed inside the beach area. After all, it was soooooooooo new.

: Did you try Al Gunther's boat? I give that boat the highest praise for
: maneuverability and response to "body English". I did S-turns
: without putting my paddle in the water.

Didn't get a chance but that sounds like fun.
I did take out Project-X though. This boat was very stabile and gave me a great sense of security. I also liked X's speed. for such a high vollume boat it really moved.
