I know many paddlers say you can never have too many boats, but I have too many.
I'm really loving this must recent one though.
When my back would not allow me to sit in a kayak, I took up Canoe Rowing. And loved it for many years. It's a great over all exercise and makes my back feel better afterwards. Rowing a canoe in a chop and small waves is easier than paddling a kayak.
A kayak is often faster and it is definitely more fun playing in the waves and surf, but for whole body exercise, fishing, crabbing and picnicking with a grandchild, I like rowing better.
The Old Town Discovery 17 is a 120 pound beast. It is a beast to move of the land and glides through the water like a whale.
Perhaps I shall name her the Whaledbeest!
