I got a KAYAK!



OK, COVID happened, I stayed in one place for 6 whole months, long enough that Gas Buddy asked if my card had been stolen.  My eighteenth century events were all cancelled, so I did home improvement (another post) and then unloaded my time traveling gear into storage.  My intention for now is to do a lot of woodswalking, bike riding, and every chance I get KAYAKING.

I got an ORU BEACH folding Kayak.  My VA daughter also has one, so we took them out for their first swim when I got to Virginia.






My kayak folds up into a box shape 13 x 30 x 33, which I can carry INSIDE my van.  It only weighs 26 pounds, and the case has backpack straps.  



It behaves very nicely in the water.  Although ORU makes more adventurous kayaks, mine is a flat water kayak - and I am a flat water kayaker.  I have no interest in careening down rapids; I like exploring soggy cypress groves and stuff like that.  



So stay tuned for kayak explorations.
