I think every kayakker has these thougths now and than: to drive much more kilometers than actually paddling them.
Today I succeeded in driving without paddling:
A few weeks ago I brougth my AnasAcuta to JG-Polyester; a good, Dutch company to get your kayak repaired or adjusted to your wishes.
He was going to install a variable skeg into my kayak.
Due to the fact the AA is very flat on the back, he has to make a new mould for a lower, but longer skeghousing. So he needed some time, but the moment has come now to finish the kayak.
To be sure that the controlbutton of the skeg would not interfere with my knee, I drove the 100 km´s over to JG-polyester to talk about the best place for the button.
The skeg was in place yet and looked promising. The position for the controlbutton was easy to find and after some talk I drove homewards again: satisfied but dusty because of the polyester-dust a workplace of a polyester company is normaly covered with.
I am looking forward to next friday when the AA will be ready.
