Captain's Watch...........
Spent some time on the lake (in a boat) with Adam (in a separate vessel) Because I had took the boy with me (son, aged 3), for safety reasons I took a flat top/sit on top canoe, basically a unsinkable vessel (like the titanic).
Adam, after a bit of paddling, thought he liked the look of this sturdy vessel of mine and went to shore and decided to try one of these boats.
The problem being he tried a one man version ( I was sat high and dry on my 3 seat titanic with no ice burgs in sight). After 10 minutes on this new command of his his morale sunk as his arse went from damp to soggy in a short space of time. These flat tops have built in draining which works both ways so the lake was draining into his boat, he soon (Adam) abandoned his boat and declared the day over.
His final words being , think I may do it (the event) in a canoe (the ones look like boats as opposed to kayaks what have key hole cockpit ), it will help with carrying the gear.
Now slight problem number 1 then, this page is called Krazy Kayakers, so now we have to re- name this page to Krazy kayaker and (something that starts with a c) -----------------Krazy Kayaker and a Cxxx in a canoe. Can’t think of owt can you?
Got my Kayak 1 star award on Sunday , which means that I must have a shaver point and three towel rails in my boat, and a bed side lamp. Well that’s what it says in the English tourist guide book for 1 stars establishments.
I am a bit obsessive with this kayak stuff at the moment with every stretch of water I see. I imagine boating down it, as I gaze longingly at my sons 3 foot round paddling pool.
