Good luck on the trip to Lodi. I know your truck is clueless about driving that far on pavement so watch for an off road rebellion of sorts. "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again"

Bob, I've never met you, but have been reading of your kayak adventures for years. Good luck on your search for a new kayak.

Dan is THE MAN and a long time supporter of NCKA. While you're there be sure to test paddle an Eddyline Caribbean 14. They fit your criteria. I have two and love them....as do the crew of the Islander.

John and Troy

Guy's seeing I am making the trip anyway, do you want me to pick up an extra one for you two to fight over, or should I bring back one for each of you. Let's see, leave tomorrow night, drive to Lodi, have appointment with Dan at 10 am, purchase yak, load and hopefully be on the road back by noon. Arrive Vista 7-8 pm, finish groceries, hit the sack, get up at 2 am, truck already loaded and on the way to Gonzaga by 3 am. Cross border by 6 am, breakfast at Taco's Poblanos by 8:30, then Gonzaga before 11am. Play time!!!!!!!

This is WHAT I do to keep motivated, stay busy, no reason to get down in the dumps, take your lemons and make lemon pie, you deserve it. Quit your bellyaching and complaining, DO something for yourself. Make plans, post them, by posting you force your self to make them happen. Live EVERYDAY to it's fullest!!! You are the only one responsible for your attitude iand contentment it is ALL in your hands. Only YOU can make yourself HAPPY. If you are still having a problem with this, step back and look at it from a different direction, there is always a way. If all else fails, just take a friend fishing. Tight Lines.

Tarpon 140

Bob,
I have a Tarpon 140 I could let you borrow and try out. It is a circa '05 model. If you like it, take it. Good karma for me. You do a lot for this community and I haven't done much so... Daemon can vouch for the awesome orange color. Pick up in Encinitas.
Its pretty narrow, but I loved it as my first kayak.

PM sent.

No way, I do not want to be stranded in Lodi. Kaya_one, thank you for your selfless offer. My money is on the Stealth Pro Fisha 525. However a great, world famous, yaker by the name of Deamon Jim would put it to good use. Or you might want to donate is to HOW, as it is a good hull, I had one a few years ago. Jeff, I don't know, as that is a lot of get up and go, your miata might not be able to catch up. Tight Lines.
