this season is a wrap

Well it's almost time for us to have snow on the ground again....yippee!!! Just joking I'd rather we didn't receive any, but hey what are you going to do? This is a sign that it is time for the kayak season of 2010 to come to an end. It was a lack luster season to be honest, a bit slow for me. I had several trips planned but only made two of them due to the weather; to dry, to wet...you know the drill.

However, there were some highlights; going to the OBX for a week was the best kayaking time ever, if you haven't gone and you love to kayak you must put it on your to do list and make sure you get on the sound side of the island :). I also did the yearly trip down Big Darby with Amy & Keith.

I got some new gear for the season. Two major items was a kayak paddle & PFD other items obtained this year were; cockpit cover, two dry sacks, another pair of water shoes, and a water shirt. It was a good shopping season & I found some great bargains. Maybe next season I can get a new yak or a tandem :).

I got to try out a few kayaks this year; Tim's Capella - blast & at a canoe livery the Vapor 10 - NOT a blast, it's not made for smaller paddlers, it feels like you are in a bathtub. I hope next season to try a few new kayaks out...like my buddy's Acadia 13 & his Dirigo.

Well over all the season was slow as far as paddling adventures go however we did do a few new things this season and got some new toys so one can't be to upset...I will just label this the season of foundation. :) As always have a great day and winter and remember to PADDLE ON!!!
