As a reminder, this blog was not supposed to be about our paddling antics; racing, travel and what-not. But…that wasn’t a rule, it was more like a guideline.
That said, it was as though nothing bad had happened to the Great Auk. The boat still paddled straight (very important) and fast (not quite as important but still important) especially for a recreation length kayak.
And it has given us a great story that has been told and retold a dozen times.
What’s next? Well the plan is to stay away from angry shallow water. The boat is “scheduled to appear” next in Muscoda WI, Clear Lake, IA, Cincinnati, OH, Burkesville, KY, and maybe Lake Jocassee, NC – none of which have any sharp, mean rocks.
So for now the blog posts will cease. But who knows. If for some reason I need to get wood glue or epoxy off the shelf, you’ll read about it here. And I’ve still got that other old hull…
