Paddling: Third Outing in the SOFs

Went to the lake with the family and a good friend today. I’m getting more comfortable in the SeaTour and had a blast paddling around the little inlet. I don’t think I’m ready for real waves yet but probably soon. We’re heading out again tomorrow morning before it gets crowded.

I started rigging the kayak today. I finished the tabs for the deck rigging and paddle park. I also carved a ball from a block of WRC for the park/handle and sanded the toggles for the deck rigging. I’ll finish the front rigging tomorrow and with any luck actually get to paddle [...]
