I arrived in Reston, VA a little over two weeks ago. This isn't my first on the road contract, but it's definitely the slowest moving. It's more of a 9-5 type job and I am left with a whole lot of free time.
Niko and I have done a ton of riding, I've gotten back into playing (gambling) the stock market, but the weekends were getting boring. Back in KC I had tried to find a long sit on top kayak with a fairly deep keel and ample storage space but I never had much luck finding what I wanted used... and I felt like buying new at $1200 was too much to spend on 60 pounds of plastic. Turns out that out here kayaking is much more popular and I found several examples that would suit my needs.
I picked this up in Easton, Maryland for $400:
It's a 15 foot long Ocean Prowler in great shape. I bought a paddle and a few accessories at REI and off we go!
Niko enjoyed boating, but did not much enjoy swimming. After I tossed him in for about the 4th time he got his confidence and decided it wasn't too bad, even jumping in once on his own. I didn't get any pictures of him in the water because I needed to be able to pull him in the boat if he got in over his head (pun intended).
