I think I mentioned yesterday that this place is huge. This morning I rode to the mountain biking trailhead and that was a 4 mile ride. I did some of the trails and was completely lost in the first 10 minutes. After I returned from that adventure Jenny and I put the Origami kayak together and took it out on its maiden voyage. I'll include a couple of pics of the process. When we first got this "boat" it took me over an hour to fold it into a boat. The YouTube video of the process was extremely misleading. Jenny and I folded it a few times in the garage and got the time down to under 15 minutes. It performed pretty well on the water. We were out for 2 hours and saw a few gators. We were happy they seemed uninterested in us because the boat is pretty flimsy. More tomorrow.
Well the new yak does look complicated, a puzzle. But you got it working.
ReplyDelete27 this morning. What is Jenny's yak made of, aluminum?
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your comments: The barge canal was constructed to be 9 feet deep. That’s apparently deep enough for barge traffic. There were fishing boats on the water. The kayak is made of plastic. It’s supposedly good for 20,000 folds and unfolds. It folds up into its own box. Google Uru kayaks for more information.
