hey folks, with your help, i made the decission to fix the footpegs on my artic hawk with yakima sliders. the purchase/delivery was easy thanks to Steve Freund,QCC Kayaks Kayaks Direct (888) 794-3887 http://www.qualitycomposites.com the installation was easy. bolt out - bolt in. my paddle today was enjoyable - however chilly for this region. it was just below freezing, so i had my second experience with deck icing. not a big deal for this couple of hour paddle. due to the low tide, the take out was muddy. since the boat was a mess, i stopped at a car wash to clean it up. due to freezing temps, the timer on the wash unit gave me 15 minutes extra time for free! so both the boat and truck got washed, rinsed and lemon waxed. when i got home, i learned more about cold weather paddling. the bow line and the straps on the boat were all frozen solid! now here's something new, kayak frozen in place. well after a bit, i broke it loose and stowed it. folks north of here must have a million tricks for paddling in really cold weather. thanks much for the secure footing. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Jan 31 1999 - 14:27:40 PST
