Re: PFD types and rolling

Bulk in the front of a PFD can make it hard to roll both kayaks and canoes, especially for those of us with extra bulk to start with. Galasport (Sandiline) makes some low profile PFD's. A C boating friend got one and its made a big difference in his rolling ability.

Re: ALF on Saturday

There may be some info on the GDI facebook page. There is a bunch staying at the Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground. Other than that, the forecast in nice for Saturday so there will be people on anything that's running.

Re: Anybody local wanna help me outfit my new boat??

Too bad you're in the wrong Augusta ;). I could have helped if you were in Augusta Ga. Unless you have a heated work space it may still be a bit early for that job.

Re: L'edge vs. Blackfly Octane 85

Have you considered a C-boat? You're small enough to fit in one with reasonable comfort and it would be easier to handle on and off the water.

Re: Paddle alone?

A solo trip is a different experience and one that I enjoy occasionally. Its easier to focus on the river and your own paddling and the solitudde can be nice for a change. I would not choose to paddle a river at the top of my ability alone, but I don't think that solo paddling a run well within ones...

Re: How tight are you in your boat

I rig my outfitting so that when pushing hard on on the toe pegs I'm locked in tight. When relaxed there's a little slack.

Re: Mamba 8.5 as C1

I paddled the Mamba 8.5 as a kayak and agree with the above poster about the odd volume distribution, though I generally liked it and didn't really have a problem getting stern squirted. I have a friend who has converted just about every likely kayak into a C1 and he has done the Mamba and Nomad. He...

Re: Varnish/sealant for wooden t-grip?

I use marine polyurethane now. It dries faster than the spar varnish so you can get multiple coats on quicker. I haven't had a problem with blisters either.
