LOL, I just caught a glimpse of ace badaged face, cucumber juice and all, in the mirror....
The cat isn't inspecting me
....he's smelling my brain to see if the circuits are burned out........I have to go hose out the kayak and the PDF and what ever else I don't remember, I barely made it into the house and got a shower .....I vaguely remember signing on to here last night, I think that was the end of the night for me, anyhow.....I was actually going to wear my cucumber mask outside in the driveway........

THINK NOT! lol.
Hey, I forgot to tell you about the knee paddaling, it went pretty good. I have a 10.5
foot kayak....with a relatively wide opening. You do need the space to contort around to get onto your knees. I actually found I was able to shift my body weight on the knees (similar to how we use our thighs when seated in the seat) to assist with steering. Shocking how fast the kayak moved, and
the control you have. Several people asked about it.
I think that was the best part about hanging out with all the yakkers for the fireworks. You got to see tons of *whats new* in the kayak world.
Just an observation. I saw several yakkers wearing helmets last night. I've seen them worn in areas where there are rapids and boulders, but I was sort shocked to see them on a recreational float. But in discussion, (and trust me they were seasoned yakkers) they felt that paramount safety was a concern do to people drinking and driving huge boats. We were pretty defenseless.
Ok, cucumber face is going to start her day! See ya! and as per the usual, be safe out there!
