maverick_weirdoAfter some more involved than usuall motor-vehicle juggling, I brought my kayak down to the lake, then came home, had lunch, changed into my baithing suit, grabbed the gear and walked down to the boat launch (I didn't do it all in one trib because I had to move the kayak while a truck was available.)
I put it in the water, and took off, then realized I had left my floatation vest on shore, so I paddled back grabed the vest sat back in the kayak, and heard a loud Krack The resin had not held, however the patch did make the opening an additional inch further from the waterline, and if I sat back it put little pressure on the crack, so I paddled around the lake some more. The water was a little choppy from the waterskiers. I took off my shirt to get some sun, and clouds rolled in.
In spite of all the issues I think I ended up proving the old saying, "A bad day kayaking, beats a good day at work."
