Cooperstown to Bainbridge on Sunday. Should be a little better water level that last year. The upper river is a blast in a C4

Solstice is not a :frog: very good for most people. I love mine. Most popular sea kayak in the world.

Recently got a new to me car and have not had a chance to get a rack yet. Luckily I was able to squeeze the RPM in for a day trip to Riversports Rapids in OKC

My brand new custom carbon kevlar Rockpool Bach Eto. The 10 month wait for this 42# beauty has been well worth it!

My new to me Libra XT coming home from the Lake George Region. And I thought my Extreme was big!

I am unsure how to deal with the forward cockpit. Using a strap in front and in back seemed to work out ok. The kayak shows damage (by the n in “Current Design”) from a previous owner seemingly strapping the kayak over the cockpit.

The Solstice was my second choice. Its geometry gets close to a FSK (fast sea kayak) and it seemed more forgiving and better for expeditions. But my purpose in kayaking is almost always fitness and challenging myself at how fast and far I can go in a given session of 2-3 hours. The Extreme is an FSK that has met that criterion very well.

I am sorry for the delay in my reply.

Somehow the boats got off the LR Discovery before I could get the picture taken.

Loaded my Old Town Tripper on my Frontier after Christmas celebrations. Normally I store this boat at my grandmother’s for the family to use on the lake behind her house (at least a couple of us gather there weekly to visit and it’s nice to have the option for a quick paddle). We got some serious rainfall last month and the small river behind my house has been settled down for a bit now, but is running both deeper and wider than before. So I figured it’d be fun to go run this barge down it and back up sometime this week to see what all has changed since I paddled it in my solo a few months back.
