: I was fly fishing for some bass yesterday when I slipped on a bank.
: I must have landed wrong because I broke a major bone in my
: foot, no fun. I am not supposed to put any weight on it for at
: least a month, this coming up on one of the better kayaking
: months around here. Any ideas on how I might get on the water
: with a foot in a cast? I know I won't be able to cartop the boat
: myself, but maybe I can get some on the water time with some
: help. The idea of 4 to 6 weeks not boating is not making me too
: happy.

Hi Matt,
Sorry to hear about your foot. Here is an idea. Build a Chuckanut 15 and then go paddle around with your foot propped up. There is room for another paddler to go with you and they can help load and unload the boat.
Get well soon:)
