Rugged Shark Captiva water shoes. Less than 12 ounces per pair. Love mine in my Hobie, for beach use, and even around the house. Delightful to wear.

May I add a second vote for a Tilley? None better. I've been wearing mine for all fishing and golf now for at least ten years. Throw it in the wash when it gets sweat-stained. In extreme sun, I add a...

I lift my Prangler 14 to the underside of my deck every winter using a Harken Hoister. I do empty it of everything first. But I can highly recommend the Harken system - everything in it is first...

Thanks for the kind words. I cannot speak for others, but for me it was not a sacrifice. I was doing the thing I wanted to do since I was five years old. Being military is in my DNA.

Saw a bit of the show last night, and even though I'm not a saltwater yakker, it didn't take long for me to groan at all the hype, the fake drama, and the terrible continuity errors.

But thanks...

Someone who uses improper English doesn't need me to insult them; it's self-inflicted.

My apologies to the original poster for derailing his thread. (Especially as he used the words correctly.)

Well, of course. The good folks at OEX (whom I've never met) are too smart to laugh in your face and call you an illiterate doofus for using "peddle".

But maybe they do in the lunch room.

ful-rac, good sir.

Yes, pedal versus peddle does bother me. Because one is right and the other is wrong.

Spelling matters; it's the difference between getting a rental and a rectal.

I've clocked my PA-14 many times and find that a 3.5 mph cruise takes just about the same effort as walking that same speed. In fact the "foot speed" is about the same for both. If you watch very...

In addition to saltwater corrosion, I rather strongly suspect that most PEDAL arms are broken by guys who habitually slam them against the stops with every stroke. Using about a 3/4 stroke is not...

Ya know, there's something delightfully if unintentionally ironic when Phil mentions large plastic bags.

Considering his avatar.

I just bought a Dexter Russell. Two, in fact. Shipping was the same for a knife or two knives plus a scabbard. I got the standard 8" high carbon and a 3" bait knife. Both are serving me very well.

The simplest thing would be two ball bungees. Next best would be a paddle clip screwed to the hull just below the gunwale.

WarriorMike, adjust your pedals back a notch or two. Your leg shouldn't be that straight. It's MUCH more comfortable to have a bit of bend left, even at full stroke. Speaking of which, if you don't...

No pics of such.

But as a general observation, to any question that begins with "Has anyone ever..." the answer is guaranteed to be "Yes."
