Yes, yes….can you believe it!  He has another one!  This one has no engine and can be folded and put away in our spare bedroom closet.  Did I peak your interest?  Well here it is

  It’s a blow up kayak!  There are two seats but no way is this girl getting in that thing.  I’ve seen too many videos of people flopping to and fro, flay their arms and then they still end up in the drink.  I have a hard enough time on dry land keeping my self upright, so no rides for me on that floating hazard

So why does Gary need another boat you may be thinking.  As you know, the boat is on a lift down here.  When the boat was in the water, every few months or so we’d pay a diver  to come out and scrape the barnacles off the bottom of the boat and change the zincs on various parts of the boat.  Now with the boat on the lift, Gary had to think of a way to change the zincs without getting all wet.  So Wahla!  We now have a kayak.

Shaft zinc

Here Gary is changing the zinc on the shaft

Now he’s replacing the one on the rudder

and let’s not forget the trim tabs.  Luckily the one on the bow thruster is still in good shape so he doesn’t need to replace that one just yet.

So this kayak is more of a utility boat but it will be great for canal cruising…..at least for Gary
