Thanks Suzie Q.
You should know that I was just as proud and impressed by you on that safety day. More should take a leaf out of your book my friend.

Re: Well Earned Beer
This is an idea I have been meaning to do. First saw it in a ocean kayaking forum a few years ago and now just recently isportfish had it installed on his yak.laneends wrote:Sit ins are even more dangerous for novices. I get paranoid above leaving hatches open, especially the front one. I have a pump but that means leaving a hatch open to pump, and in a rough sea and low on energy it may be coming in faster than going out. But then I have tackle containers that could be used in an emergency.

Excellent idea, and if you are a pedaller you can still control the yak while doing it.GoneFishn wrote:This is an idea I have been meaning to do.

No need to open a large hatch
Though it might inspire Ghurkin to install a keg down there, for some draught beer

Re: Well Earned Beer
There are some foot pump type ones you can get but a bit pricy for what they are and don't pump out the same volume as the hand pumps.laneends wrote:Excellent idea, and if you are a pedaller you can still control the yak while doing it.GoneFishn wrote:This is an idea I have been meaning to do.
