Attached is a pic of my newest retirement sport.... " Kayak Hunting "... Just kidding... for those who would ever make the mistake of taking me seriously... with the possible exception of folding kayak building

I was born to retire.

Was out today doing some solo rescues. I am finding my narrow hardshell to be easier to re-enter than the Feathercraft. The main problem, of course is what is usually the quirk of folders, the high deck and getting over it. They tend to be more stable, but not necessarily as stable when trying to enter them.K7Baixo wrote:We had fun yesterday... t's, paddle floats, wet exits - it was a blast. We also learned that even w/ float bags, folders are a challenge when swamped.
Dude.
On the hardshell, I can get back in the kayak in less than 30-seconds if the paddle float is ready to go. It was amazing how easy it was once I got the hang of it. Only saw one paddle-float-rainbow yesterday to boot.![]()
I think I'm gonna like this kayak-stuff.

It's gonna sound funny but my fear of water means I never learned to dive.kayakamper wrote:
Actually, you should have dove off the dock, swam to your boat and executed a nice self rescue. That would have gotten the lunch crowd excited![]()

I did several rescue exercises this year both with my Big Kahuna and my narrow hardshell.kayakamper wrote: Was out today doing some solo rescues.

Actually, now that I think about it. Don't dive with a PFD on. That would be a wierd feeling.K7Baixo wrote:

The lunch crowd overlooked the water from essentially the second floor balcony. We sat outside also and the size of the carp that we could now see in the water was astounding. Those suckers, swimming along with the ducks, were easily in the 3 foot range.
