It must be nice to have 5 and you have to teach us how you get that by the wifey.  You wouldn't happen to have a pic of all of them lined up on your driveway would you - mtvcribs style?  :smt044

I have 2 and that's pushing it.

Hi Al,

I can take more pictures and post here so you can "see" it  :smt003  I don't have time from now to GS5 to pimp it up for ocean fishing yet and I'll be riding with Darius to Shelter Cove so we can only take 1 kayak each.  Most likely I'll take the Outback to GS5.  Are you going to Lawson's Landing for clamming this Sunday?  I'll bring it there.

Congrats on the new boat, looking forward to your review and seeing it in person.

I have 2 and that's pushing it.

Hai: i only have 4, and i have gotten away with it by keeping my yaks the same color.  It all becomes a blur after awhile to the wife. Thd problem with 2 yaks is that thw wife can easily distinguish 2 yaks. After 4 yaks, they can't keep up.  If my wife suspects a new yak, i tell her i bought it a long time ago. She gives me this look and eventually walks away. Sometimes i don't respond and ask her how many LV bags she has.  To tell u the truth, i think they know_ they just don't want to deal with our sh*t.
 
Peace, y'all

You dare to compare her LV's with your yaks?  You're a brave man  :smt044

I did try the stand-up paddling.  Need more practice but it's more stable than my Outback.

I hope to see your raptor on Sunday Sonny (not 100% sure yet).

John, I never realized that your right hand was so strong.  :smt044

I'm not a yak collector, but I'll try to use/tweak your techniques to get my wife to yak w/me ->
"Why did you bring both yaks?"
"I don't know, but this is a genuine LV paddle."
