Kayaking

So my dear friend Rosie and I decided to go kayaking on Tuesday... well kinda kayaking. She bought a fantastic kayak named Howard or Harold (for the time being, until we comeup with something better).
It got strapped to the top of her car and up to Cultus we went. I had heard that there was a new place to rent kayaks up there. After driving around and not finding it we finally got to where we needed to be (looked like a concession stand.. and was one) and then proceeded to gape at what they brought out and passed off as a kayak.... not exactly what I had in mind.

Well lets just say that this might have been fantastic for paddling around the dock. But it was NOT cut out for beating against the wind more than 1/2 way up the lake. The kayak was like a giant scoop with every wave. 5inches of water was rather chilly. We had to pull off to the shore x3 to dump water so I wouldn't sink. We had a fantastic time though, Cant wait for the Broken Islands in August!!! Oh PS Benefits of the open top kayak you at least can tan your legs!!!
