    Be careful of that propeller, everyone

    WOW! Hope a speedy recovery. Report it to the coast guard so they can start an investigation n maybe put the captain on notice. Here on the Long Island Sound of NY, weekends are very busy on the water so I've been very mindful of the dangers of traffic. I've started using a rear view bike...

    Staying Warm in the shoulder seasons?

    Staying dry is the best advice. Change everything you have to the bone for dry clothes. Also is your closed cell foam pad enough for where you are setting up camp? Alot of heat is lost to the ground. I see many people using self inflating pads as the only under pad, complaining they were cold...

    Lasso cables

    stuckonearth, you are a master of pulling out of context without grasping the concept. Your kayak did not get stolen because you used this cable, you just happen to be lucky or just live in a better neighborhood. That does not make this cable a better one, a shoe lace would have worked for 6...

    Lasso cables

    Oh yes we do. If you can cut a cable with side cutters it is crapola. Because your kayak has never been stolen in 6 years makes it a stronger cable? NO! It only means you lock your boat in a better neighborhood. You probably could tie your boat with a shoelace n no one will steal it. BUT.... If...

    Lasso cables

    So we now know this cable is sheit. What about other brands or what type of cable is more resistant to cutting? How good are the crimpped ends at the loops? I had a cable that simply pulled out of the crimp, Krytonite straight cable with the orange ends. They use an aluminum crimp at the loop...

    VHF For Newbie

    And if you know the radio won't float, just teather it to the boat or keep it teathered to you. If it does float and it drifts out of reach it will still be as useless as an anchor in that situation won't it? Either way you are going to teather it. .

    VHF For Newbie

    I got a Standard Horizon 280 several years ago for $80 and love it. This place seems to have the best deals on radios I've seen anywhere..... http://www.newagemarine.com/communicati ... d-vhf.html .

    Guzzler Foot opertated bilge pump?

    Thanks everyone. I did see it pumps 0.17L/stroke... rather low volume but still a relief to using my pipe pump that simply kills your arms n shoulders by the 20th stroke as you drift out of control out to sea. I figured I can also use a bailing bucket at the same time in an extream situation as...

    Tent Take Down - Fold & Roll, or Cram? Which is Better?

    Where do you carry your pump?

    I have a 14' plastic Perception. I jam the pump between teh hull wall n the right side of the seat support near the floor. I also have a teather hooked to the seat adjust strap so if it does come out, it won't get lost. It's never come lose even when transporting it on top of the car becuse the...

    Hot Deal on Inflatable PFDs

    Thanks I'll call the store n talk to Byron. It sounds like just what I need, no frills. I am a good swimmer n only need it for when I'm kayking the lake that is heavily patrolled by rangers. Instead of not wearing a PFD while fishing the shore and risking a ticket, at least I'll have the...
