One man's rush to jump on the kayaking bandwagon

Paddling in the rain

Since I have little time to go out in the kayak, I want to be able to go no matter what the weather is like. While Heath has a strict no rain policy, I'm fine with it. It means there will be fiewer boats on the lake.
I didn't go very far, but I went far enough to realize my "water resistant" jacket needs replacing. My new gloves worked well. I really need some way of keeping my feet dry getting in and out of the boat. I was fine this time, but I'll need something when it gets colder.
On my way back to the boat ramp, I encountered a lone bass boat camped out underneath the bridge. One of the fisherman commented, "You're getting wet." I replied, "Yes, I am, but that's okay." That pretty much sums up today's paddle.
