FIRST PADDLE IN NEW KAYAK

I picked up a new kayak last summer but never used it until the other day.  It is a single and only 12 feet long.  Not as stable as our tandem, but it is a lot faster.  Got to figure out a good way to carry my camera gear better though.  What I use in the tandem is a bit big for the cockpit in this kayak.  Seems to track well also.

Ready to launch.

Water was great for the first part of the trip then a little breeze came up and a few ripples showed themselves.

Not much snow in the high country for this time of year.

Loaded up and ready to head home.  A few guys came by as I was about to load it and they gave me a hand.  Nice of them.
