My name is Bob Creager and I live in Sarasota, Florida ... I've been kayaking for about three years ... I'm on my third career and the line of work I'm in is stressful, but far too interesting to quit ... Kayaking the flat waters and rivers down here is my great stress reliever, with easy access to great abundances of wild flora and fauna ... All of my boats are plastic (I'm far to practical and rough on my equipment for the fancy stuff) ... I have a DAGGER Atlantis for touring, a NECKY Dolphin as my go-anywhere-do-anything-easily work boat and a DAGGER Delta for those lazy-drift-down-the-Swannee-while- trolling days ... I've taken some classes and can do a pretty fair paddle float reentry, but my roll sucks (I say its my 51 year old bones, my instructor says I'm trying too hard and gotta relax ... easy for him to say, he's not hanging upside down in a boat sucking water and watching his life pass before his eyes!) ... I help out an Outfitter friend of mine as a Guide (i.e., I work for food), mostly school kids, Scouts, Snowbirds ands tourists, its a lot of work, yet fun and you meet some really nice people ... I believe in safety, commonsense, and the elimination of anything that goes faster than 10mph on the water! Stay safe!
