I was in a kayak and my son was on a paddle board. I learned first hand that kayaks are faster than sup because I kept up with him today and if we were both supping, that would never happen. I wanted to check out kayaking a bit more. It's good stuff. I was in a little 10 footer, I'd like to...

Hell yeah! I just got back from a paddle in light rain, the Sound was empty but for us, conditions were calm, tide was low. Awesomeness!

Ha, Gerry and your awesomely simple, descriptive writing! You put me there with you!

My father had a Cape Dory, small one, probably 12'. It was versatile, good for sailing, rowing or small motor.

My honeymoon was in ME too ;)

Good on ya, mate! Lotta sailing in ME, as you know. My wife used to work for a rich crazy guy, he decided he was going to become a sailor so he went to ME and bought a quarter million dollar (30 y ago) Hinkley sailboat. We got the factory tour later on, it was amazing, serious craftsmen.

Seen em plenty online and seen a lot of em in FL used by kite boarders. Wild stuff!! Wish I was young again! That is ridiculous speed on Kenny. Must be so sick to be traveling that fast without a motor

Sailing and trees? That's a good life :drink:

Agreed, that is completely amazing, fo sho!! Kevin, my buddy and I were just talking about that very thing for SUPs. Wind is kinda the bane of SUPs. Ya know, if you're thinking about it, someone else has already done it, and posted it! Never underestimate da House!

Great post, 09, particularly about the roots of sailing. I too love sailing, have done a fair bit over the years living here on LI sound shore. Owned a couple 16' sailboats. Over time and age, less and simpler and lighter gear/hobbies have taken precedence so now i'm into ultra low tech, low...
