[Paddlewise] New Boat

I bought the Viking.  It's has yellow deck, white hull and navy blue trim.
Beautiful.





It weighs 47 pounds with hatches. (The dealer thought it was strange when I
asked him to weigh it.)  It doesn't have a whole lot of storage space for
overnight trips but Sandy will buy the best of water filtration systems for
US.  It has a skeg, no rudder.





The only other problem is that I need to learn how to paddle a fiberglass boat
after 4 years of plastic boats.  Anyone want to get wet tomorrow?





Thanks for all your assistance and good wishes.


Marinell
