Addition to the Fleet

Tom has actually had this folding kayak for a couple years but only used it on a limited bases because the Hobie Mirage was always at the lake, handy and ready to go.
Some pending deck maintenance meant that all the "stuff" stored under the deck needs to be move out temporary, including this kayak.  Tom hauled out the folding kayak and gave her a good scrub.  I have yet to try it and we have been discussing getting it out anyway.  We are hoping/planning on getting some practice  paddles in soon at the lake.

I didn't realize there are so many pieces and parts.  The plan is to take this along on s/v Honey Ryder for some fun exploring.

HAM Goes to School

Now that I have my HAM license (KD0QAG - but don't try to call me as I don't have a HAM radio at all in KC.  The SSB is on the boat.) I get emails from the Amateur Radio... people.  (*I don't have all the HAM jargon down yet.)  They had a free webinar this evening on the 2012 Hurricane Season.

It was pretty good.  I, along with 300+ other people learned a few things.  I am hoping that we won't have to put any of it to use this hurricane season.

Disillusion vs Illusion

We have a new motto for the time being.  It will be replacing the current motto "Remember wherever you go, there you are."
