Glad it all worked out ok

For safety in the winter I added the YakGear outriggers. I know it makes me look like an old grandpa but they are stable and don't slow me down.

Get those rod holders plugged and get back out there Dustin. This woulda been a lot worse if the wind would have been calm and we woulda went to where I wanted to go. I don't know how we could have gotten the yak from the middle of the cove to the bank with it full of water. By the way, the fishin was good for me today in the same area you went over. I'll put a pic or two up in a bit

I haven't tried it, but I'm told that the two-part epoxy sticks that you break off a section and knead the two parts together will adhere to a kayak hull for an emergency repair. The stuff sets up pretty quickly, and you can use it wet or dry. I know that Walmart carries it in their marine products section. If anybody can confirm that it will adhere to a kayak hull, that'd be a handy piece of information.

Jim, that stuff (JB Weld) is great! My kayak wouldn't float without it. Once upon a time my kayak launched itself from J racks at 55 mph and did a back flip nose plant before righting itself and coming to a skidding stop bottom side down. Three tubes of JB weld fixing holes top side and on keel and I was back on water the next morning. I wouldn't consider it a permanant fix but having used it so many times repatching my keel, I trust it...


most of the time.
