Shot this today during my morning paddle. Another incredible sunrise to complement the weather we’ve been having. Last week’s heat is gone, leaving weather so temperate that we’ve turned off the AC and opened the windows.
I paddled upstream this morning, just past Choto Marina before turning around and heading back home to Duck Cove.
I rented a Hurricane Tracer 165 for a week, but I decided to stick with the canoe for my morning paddles. The kayak is really tippy at this point, and I’m having a hard time getting it to track straight (the skeg is broken and won’t come down, which I think has something to do with it).
The other, bigger problem, is that I really have to squeeze into the cockpit. I didn’t fall out during my inaugural paddle this weekend, but I want to make sure there are people around to help yank me out of there if I end up underwater. So for the longer solo paddles, I’ll stick with the canoe and play around with the kayak in the evenings.
