We spent the whole morning inside, then when I went to get the mail I discovered it was a beautiful day outside. I received my second issue of Canoe and Kayak today - not wure why I got two different issues just days apart - and I realized I ought to take advantage of the lovely weather to wash the kayak. It’s a Current Designs Gulfstream, and it actually belongs to Woody, but he’s long-term loaning it to me. I had to wash it as quickly as I could because there’s a problem with our outside water connection and water was spraying everywhere from the connection as I was washing the boat. After the initial spray-off, I turned off the water while I cleaned the top, then turned it back on to rinse. It’s drying presently and then I’ll put the hatch covers back on. I’ll probably tackle the bottom tomorrow.

I really want my own boat…looking at another issue of C&K is not helping! I want something maybe about 14-15 feet long, and plastic, probably. A little day touring boat so I can keep up with the Pirates but still be able to haul it around myself.
