Kayak Bytes: Just another LR2 Blogs weblog

Second time out

Anton and I took the kayaks out again today, mostly for me to work on a roll. The conditions had changed quite a bit from Friday, a lot of boat traffic and higher winds. There was also a ‘whole whack’ (as they say in Canada) of people there. Chop and wakes in the inlet we paddled were at times 2 feet. The boat felt very stable in those even when I was sitting broadside to them. They did move me in towards the rocks pretty fast though. Not a problem, jut paddled back out when I got close. I did some 1/2 rolls in the shallows with Anton spotting me. Skulling brace to capsize then swept back up, all on the same side. About like Jay Babina demonstrates in his video, only I don’t make it look that easy. Laying back and sliding up over the rear deck is real nice.

Haven’t got the pictures from today ‘developed’ yet, so here’s one from Friday.
