Kayak Blues
September 28, 2009
About three weeks ago, we paddled the Pigeon Creek. Jessica was in my kayak, me and M in the canoe, and Jonathan in Jessica’s kayak.
So the water was pretty calm until the last leg and there were actually some white water areas, which we love. Well Jessica cuts a little too close and as she goes over a rocky area, the back of MY kayak hits the rock hard. A few minutes later, the back of MY kayak is sinking.
She was able to paddle to the bank just before it totally sank. Then M and Jonathan pulled it down creek to the take out.
I thought it was lost. I was sick. It had been my mother’s day present like 15 years ago.
As it turns out, M patched it up today with a heat gun. Since it’s made of 100% recycled liter bottles, he was able to melt it back together, then reinforce it with a milk jug! Can you believe it?
