While I didn't do as much paddling as I might have liked (who does?), I've taken some steps this year to make it easier to take the family along with me. I bought a four place kayak trailer so I can take my sons (13 and 11 years) and a friend or two of theirs along on modest day trips. Also, I can leave my kayak on the trailer and avoid the (admittedly minor) hassle of loading and unloading the kayak before and after trips. It is also great to not have to lift my boat onto the car racks (sigh, that sounds almost pathetic). The second exciting thing is I have started construction of a strip built kayak with my older son, as he is out-growing our Umiak; a good way to spend the off season in Vermont (when he isn't snow boarding). - Bill H. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
