New Yak will be home in a couple of days.

Just talked to Jersey Paddler and they said the kayak will be ready probably by Thursday.  I'm thinking Friday we'll see.

Either way it will be good just to have it in the garage.  I am looking forward to christening it very soon.

Dave, I can just about hear the water lapping up against the hull now.

I picked up a few more plugs so I think I am ready to go.  I just hope all the rest of the stuff I ordered will be there as well.  Like the PFD and other stuff.

I am both excited and nervous at the same time it is strange.  I guess because it is not only me in the kayak but all the equipment as well.  I guess I have to figure out the tethering once I get the kayak home and where everything will be going.

Happy Catching

I know how you feel.  I've been waiting three weeks for my new yak to get here.  I spent a ton (a ton to me anyway) on this thing and I got everything that I need sitting in the garage but the boat.  I got an Ocean Kayak Prowler Trident 13.

Hey Vito. Long time, no see. Congrats on your new yak. Good luck with it.

Thanks, it's great to be back and thanks.

Hi Vito,

Congrats on the new almost here kayak.  They are putting all the stuff I ordered on so all I have to do is go pick it up.

Well the waiting is over for me I get to pick mine up in the morning.  The roof rack has been reqady and waiting for what seems like a long time.  I bought the Thule Hullavator to make things a lot easier.

I look at it this way the weather has been in the toilet so I would not really get to use it anyway.  At least I don't have to stare at it and sulk over not being able to go out and use it.

Happy Catching

Paul

... the weather has been in the toilet ...

Get an umbrella.

Hope this helps the Polish Navy.

I got out on the lake twice now on it and it's great.  I messed up my shoulder so while putting it on my roof for the first time it slid off and took out my mirror! I'm still trying to get used to being on it so moving around to get to my gear has been a little tough to get used to, probably cause I'm fat. Once I feel comfortable enough, and get a gps, I'm going to take it in the bay.  The only thing I didn't like is when I was unwrapping the yak, the side handle broke.  I didn't even get to sit in it yet! Cabella's is supposed to be sending me a new one asap.
