Kayak Time

Last night a very powerful storm system came over us around 3:30am, strong enough to make me get up and check the weather satellite picture to make sure there were no tornado warnings issued. Luckily the super heavy stuff passed about 10 miles south so all we got was lots of rain (about 1 inch in 1 hour) and a brilliant light show from all the lightening. Poor Harley had to be let in the bedroom so she could hide under our bed. Today was very windy and it looks like a mini cold front is coming in. Strange weather this spring. After grocery shopping this morning we went out to get ourselves some kayaks. With the lake level still 8 feet below full pond, we aren't putting the power boat in the water just yet. And the canoe is landlocked due to the beaver dam. So these kayaks will get us out on Lake Hartwell and give us a good upper body workout. I wanted to get sit on top ones so if I tipped over it is no big deal. There is also a little storage spot behind the seat that will let us strap in a small cooler for beverages. It was too late in the day (and too cool actually) to test them on the water today, but I am looking forward to the weekend, it should be fun. Andrew's back is still only 2 weeks healed since he injured it, so no sailing just yet. But an easy kayak should be ok.
