K is for Kayaks

I have always enjoyed canoeing and kayaking. I unfortunately haven’t done much of either in years. I guess the biggest problem with kayaking is the cost. Rentals are expensive and to purchase a kayak is even pricier. I have a set of plans for a skin on frame kayak gathering dust for the last dozen years. I am not sure why I haven’t got around to building it yet. It is well within my capabilities to build it. It seems to be a lot easier of a build than a cedar strip kayak. I must admit the cedar strip kayaks are beautiful, but they just weigh so much more than a skin yak. I think a new project might be in the works….or maybe just wishful thinking. Kayaking solo probably isn’t the smartest move either.
