    Making and unmaking holes in a fibreglass kayak

    Oops, I mentioned the wrong kayak. The kayak, that keeps my back filled with joy, is my composite CD Squamish. And the Squamish doesn't even weathercock, even when stored in the garage. Sorry, I am so off topic.

    Making and unmaking holes in a fibreglass kayak

    I find it efficient to not slouch. Nevertheless, I seem to need a supportive backband. It need not be high, just supportive, Because of a long-ago ski injury, I had destroyed a disk in my lumbar spine and my back is slightly crooked (should I run for USA Congress?). I typically reconfigure...

    WTB Kayak cart suggestions

    Is the C-Tug just cheap plastic? Not at all. Mine has held up well over many years.

I can stow it in the hatch of one kayak...

    Oregon kayak builder?

    In recently saw a photo of a beautiful hand built kayak (the 'Spirit') produced by Wet Willy Kayaks somewhere in Oregon. I am guessing from Internet searching that this manufacturer is no longer in business. Does anyone have any info on their kayaks ... performance etc.?

    Nanaimo to Victoria Aug 16 to Aug 20th Day 1 and 2 (Belated...again)

    I particularly enjoyed this portion of your trip, familiar locations to this day-trip paddler from my years of kayaking in the Nanaimo area. Aren’t the sea/wind carved sandstone cliffs spectacular? The Nanaimo area is a great jumping off place for a huge variety of day trips.
