My New Kayak
So Friday I went out an purchased a kayak for myself. I ended up Wilderness Systems Pamlico 100. I am quite happy with it. It took me a little while to get it loaded up when I was leaving Dick’s as apparently my car does not have an adequate spot to tie it down in the front. I was able to get it home safely. Once I got it unloaded, I went down to buy a Thule rack for my car to carry the kayak, my ski’s, or anything really. unfortunately, the parts needed were not all in stock so I had to order them. They should be here sometime this week.
Saturday, I spent a few hours cleaning up the garage which is something I have been meaning to do for a while anyways. I threw out a bunch of junk, cleaned up the walls a bit and installed a rack I bought for the kayak in place of the crappy old peg board and shelves that were falling off. In the process I did find a quite old handle of Bacardi. I’m not sure how old exactly, but the bottle has a wicker wrapping around it and the cork in the neck of the bottle was disintegrating pretty well. If anyone wants to tell me if the booze is still good or not, you are more than welcome.
Once the rain stopped, I mean up with my buddy Sean to try out the kayak. We put in underneath the Commodore Hull Bridge and went up the river to the dam and back. The whole trip took us a little over an hour. Here is a map of the route taken. Even though it was overcast the river was quite peaceful and enjoyable. I can’t wait til next weekend when I can head out for a little longer. Hopefully the weather will be a bit nicer. If anyone has a kayak and wants to go out, just let me know.
