Twenty Beaches Surfski Classic

The start is cool and the ability to catch the smallest of swells is inspiring. High cadence appears to be the name of the game, good core rotation. A real selling point to have an under the hull rudder system.

A lot like watching paint dry or grass grow unless you get it. Watching the pros, a lot to learn from this video - The Capt'n

Happy Festivous...

Merry Christmas!! - The Capt'n

Battle of the workshops

The challenge is on between SandyBottom and The Capt'n as we go head to head with our kit boats.
-
SandyBottom hit it hard with Paul and set up their downstairs as a workshop. The Capt'n followed suit hit it hard with Jack and set up shop as well in the kitchen.
-
The Capt'n is going old school with the basics... only thing missing is paper clips and string; Looks like SandyBottom has a slight lead.

Magic of the moment.

Costa Rica, On our way up to Monteverde for some zip lining. A rainbow appears as a reminder that the beauty we seek is in the magic of the moment. Thirty seconds later we might have missed this.

In a state of euphoria

OK.. in a state of adventure travel euphoria, I purchased a boat kit... Not to be out done by SandyBottom and her two projects going at once phase. (skin on frame and the new Grand Diva by B&B Yacht's )

I stayed local and worked the magic with the boys up at QCC Kayaks - Wisconsin... I know what your thinking... The Capt'n in a kayak; surly you jest! ... Not so fast my uncomfortable paddling friend's... QCC doesn't build boat kits.... or do they?

It's magic... The Capt'n

Are you thinking what...

Here is a taste of what was a marvelous adventure. Wind swept beaches, aqua blue waters and the smooth sounds of ice jingling ever so gently in our glasses.
