Peter,
I did some canoeing this summer in Pine Creek, PA. Water was low and slower
than usual, but I still managed to hit a rock pretty hard (Bob, I feel your
pain!), got tossed in, bruised and battered a bit, and lost my sunglasses.
But it was fun. I don't mind paddling, although there was a good breeze in
the mountains and I found myself daydreaming about makeshift sails.
I saw some surprisingly sturdy-looking, inflatable kayaks along the way. Now
I'm thinking about stowing an inflatable kayak in the sailboat for shoreline
exploring. When I saw your post, I wondered if you keep yours with your
sailboat, or is kayaking a separated activity for you?

Yeah, I do keep them together. I'm lucky enough to own a few acres
with the tideline 20m from my back gate. I keep my kayaks and toy
sailboat down there, can drop them in the water within a couple
minutes - provided it's half tide or more.

I'm getting a mooring put in about 150m from my gate in readiness for
a bigger sailboat.

I have one f/g kayak and one plastic one. The plastic one is heavier
but a better sea boat so I use it more. Never tried sailing a kayak,
strikes me as an exercise for people with a lot faster reflexes and
ability than I have. I've only managed to master half an eskimo roll.

It's human nature. Philip Bolger often laments the nearly universal tendency of
people to look at a good rowing boat and say "Let's put a sail on it" or a nice
sailboat and demand a motor, etc etc. Sailing a kayak does make some slight sense
if you have a long way to go downwind, but once you start cluttering it up you no
longer have a decent kayak and might as well get a 505 to start with.


I've only managed to master half an eskimo roll.

Me too... it's one reason why I still harbor this archaic preference for canoes
and pulling boats...

I used to roll Eskimos all the time when I lived in Alaska.

They're easy because they get so frickin' drunk. They

Besides, as soon as they get drunk they think they're a sleighdog and start

You should really lighten up.... it's usually the people that take offense
that seem to have the most guilt to overcome. Racism is a fact of life, and
if you've ever told a blonde joke you are as guilty as the people you
accuse. Next time you feel sanctimonious enough to leap onto the soap box
with an arm load of assumptions... you might try dropping the attitude of
moral supremacy. The topping on the cake seems to be your choice of
