Guess who just had a 2 person Dagger Trinidad sea kayak delivered this morning?! It looks awesome, but it’s sooo long (5 and a half metres!) that it barely fits in the garage! It’s got 3 waterproof storage holds, deck lines, carry handles, a metal rudder and carries more than 250 litres of gear (plus two people, and whatever you can strap on top). Colour is marbled orange and yellow – not originally what we intended, but at least it’s nice and bright 
. Now we just have to work out how to strap it to the roof of our Subaru, and make an excuse to get out on the water. Plenty of training to do before October!
Yay!

They were a very friendly bunch of people, but it’s fair to say that we were amongst the most recreational of the kayakers there – there were a lot of very serious people with fancy, light-weight boats who seemed to think a 24km paddle was a nice warm-up before breakfast! Our Dagger Trinidad seemed rather wide and bulky compared to the racing lines of many other kayaks. [...]
