Here's more on the adventure with the kayak.
I put a patch on the kayak and took it to Stillwater Cove in the Sonoma Coast of California (this is after some stops at the local wineries for some tasting :friday ). It seems that Stillwater was an ideal place to launch the thing and it handled superbly in, well,
stillwater. We didn't try it out of the cove because of the strong current that we were having at the time of the launch. a few waves here and there ( not like the one that hit us at Carmel River Beach) and the kayak handled ok. This is with three people on board. I think it would be better if the kayak is used like it was designed, for two people and gears. So this week no lost gear, just too much weight (me!). Will keep you informed when I take it out again next weekend.
So no lost
