Awesome pics, Crash. Glad you got to take it out on a maiden voyage! So, what did you use to christen her? Gout de Diamants?

Very nice. It's amazing how big a fish those Ospreys will go for.

Niiice. So I assume that water moves. Is it tidal water or a lake or a river? How fast does it move?

**crashdive123** · 10-09-2015, 04:14 PM

It's a river that flows into a lake (dammed at one end for conservation control) so currents are mild. The afternoon sea breeze kicked in pretty good, so a nice headwind on the return paddle. The tunnel hull tracks pretty well even in the wind.

That's some nice looking water. Seems like every time I go out I am into a headwind. Can be tougher than fighting current. Do you have some kind of anchor? I am using a pole anchor because I am mostly in shallow waters.

**crashdive123** · 10-09-2015, 08:49 PM

We did not bring an anchor. We will when we go fishing.

You get incredible birds down your way, don't you?

**crashdive123** · 10-10-2015, 06:22 AM

We do, and as y'all get that white stuff on the ground more and more arrive. Some even stay. (You realize of course there is a northeast snowbird joke that is just begging to be played.......too easy though).
