Paddling in Galveston

Went paddling on Saturday with Tony and Kurt and again Monday morning with Tony.

Aside from my legs falling asleep Saturday everything went well and we had a good time. Hopefully Kurt will post a short review of my Sea Tour ;) . Many thanks to Kurt for the tips on bracing and preparing to roll.

I managed to get a few good pictures through the vinyl of a dry bag.

I learned a couple more things about my boat. The most important item to tackle now is a narrower coaming. It’s too easy to get unseated and pop the skirt off with the current setup. Second and nearly as important are some improvements to the seat to reduce the pressure points and keep my legs from falling asleep.

I’m stopping by Home Depot tonight for another LDPE tube and will get a bit more serious about using heat to make it hold it’s shape. I’m shooting for 18×28 inches this time.
