As i have turned to "the dark side" as OWL put it, I need some afternoon help with getting into the yak on Lake Atalanta or somewhere near-bouts. Anyone willing to help a re-born boater????

I'm tied up tomorrow but Wednesday I may be able to help out after 4:00.

You should probably buy a kayak you can get in without help

Hey Brother,
You KNOW any of my limited knowledge is free for the taking!!!
If I can make-it that way this weekend lets boat.
I have a skirt that otta fit you and an extra paddle.
Let me know...

Thanks Spanker. I can get in the boat just fine. Just need a little starting instruction.

Hey Cap. Surely appreciate it. I knew you'd be the man!! I will be out this weekend.....actually headed to run Dragover Loop. If you want to come that far you are welcome to join. Just a bunch of my brothers friends and I. After I get in and paddle a little bit....we need to go hit some place and learn me to roll, so WE can hit some real creeks. haha!
You're tops Cap! take it easy, and let me know where you are this weekend.

Consider it done.
Be there Sat morning ready to go!!!
Great camp-spot,great float,and great company.
Does it get any better???
I dare say not!!!
See Ya Saturday!!!

I'm not sure my help would really be help, but I wouldn't mind having a spotter to try some hand rolls. I'm free mid-afternoon or so tomorrow (Tuesday) if you want to mess around in Lake Atalanta. I think I could get your roll started. I guess you've rounded up a skirt and paddle, yes? Let me know a time.

Im loaded up for a paddle tomorrow. I have a brand new skirt. and a silly rec paddle. But that wll suffice until i get the carbon sherpa! Give me a shout when you want to go. I am ready at 5 or so.

I had to buy two paddles to figure out the best paddle in the world is the one you already have. See you there 'bout 5:00.

No worries, I was running the tot with a rec paddle before I got my sherpa

Cool I think I got a hit on a Powerhouse 30 d offset carbon. I think that will be more than enough for me. Hopefully I will have that soon!!!

Its good to know im not the only one who has to use a rec paddle for WW.

Lucky, I've been wanting a powerhouse, Jeremy keeps rubbing in how much power he has

"You think you can out race me little spanke? I'm stronger, my paddle blades are larger, and my boat is longer. Everything is working in my favor"

HAHA! glad I chose that one then! But can he really out paddle "Spanke"? HA!

He destroys me.
