Well it’s been over 6 months since I’ve been on my kayak and it felt great to be back on the water!

Looks like you had beautiful weather and some nice action with the shorts. Good to see you back out on the water.

I had both knees replaced in 8 months time. The only problems I had was getting off the kayak after fishing. The knees are slow to recover agility. Now I'm recovering from open heart surgery two weeks ago so it will be six months before I can get back to loading and unloading the kayak. I need to find a sympathetic friend to do all that hard work while I catch the fish.

Wow! Just take it easy for a while. The fish will be waiting for you!🙂
Have a speedy recovery too!

Yes, getting in and out of the kayak has been a “pain?”. I need to walk a little after getting out and get the blood flowing.
