I have 2 types. One a flat bottom built for an adult & one small kid...... The other is more of a keel in front & back similar to this one....... 
It tacks we easy & as you paddle you adjust w/ each stroke.....
I kayaked today 3 miles. I ws going to do 10 put it was over casted & we sun loving Nor Cal ppl chill easy..lol
I have gone in fog, rain etc. Just not feeling it today......
Now is the time to buy a used kayak.. Creggslist usually has great deals. A decent paddle's can be had also........ Get an off set as they will give each stroke more power......... |
I remember your salmon story!
I've been kayaking a couple of times, on a lake near me.
We found a little break in some thicket and paddled through. We came out in a clearing, and some crazy Russian dude from NYC came running out of his back door, claiming I was on his property.
So, here I am, trying to tell him that I'm in the lake, and not on his property. Mind you, I'm the proverbial sitting duck, in my kayak.
So, he tells me that he's going to shoot me if I don't get off his property. I tell him again, that I'm in the lake, and he starts running to his house (presumably to get his gun.)
Did you ever see a kayak, throw up a rooster tail?!!!! Mine did.
I came back a short while later with a state trooper. He was gone...probably went back to the city a little earlier than he had planned to.
