Wife Joins the Dark Side!

Post by GN YAKN » Mon Jul 12, 2010 10:25 am

Yes, miracles do happen. After 27 1/2 years of marriage, my wife has made the ultimate gesture of her love for me! :D

She announced to me last week that she was getting a kayak!

Saturday was her maiden (matron?) voyage with her new vessel!

My bucket list is getting shorter every day!

Congratulations, Dave! Since my bride took up yakkin some years ago my paddling life has been 1) less intense in searching out the next big river, 2) better planned and organized, 3) better smelling, and 4) left me with more smiles on my face!:) May you be blessed with at least three of the same!

Wildwood. Pics were taken last Saturday on the Lower Mulberry.

Beautiful section from Hurricane Creek to Mill Creek. Nice bluffs and runnable down to about 1.6 on the USGS gage.

Congratulations! Looks like a Perception Torrent.

If so, SHE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE!!!
:D :D :D :clap:

Great boat, tons of fun, lots of performance, she'll be smitten by it!

A few more Torrents and we'll have to petition for our own "Torrent" section on the message board index!!!
