Found it, and it's a nice one.  Thank you.

There's a Tetra 12 on Mendocino Craiglist, Willits.
Sometimes, when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you.

Thank you.  My trip to Sacramento is over and I'd need a volunteer to get it a bit closer to me - San Jose is a 10-drive now - but it's a nice boat and I appreciate you pointing it out to me.  I'll contact the seller to see if they're heading North because one never knows...

Here's a tetra 12 on cl $550 if you're still looking.

Well, let me ask and I'll let you know.  Even if no one volunteers, this was a mighty generous offer.  Thank you.

Out of your yard?  Your yard!  Do I get a Special Discount for evicting all the spiders and other nasty critters?   :smt045

(That was a joke)

Thanks for letting me know.  I might be interested in the 120 if the price is right.  Can you tell me more about it, maybe a picture? If your friend doesn't want to sell it, at least I'd know what I'm missing out on.

Look at me, Ma'!  I might go from having no kayaks to having two of them.  All the cool kids have more than one...

Too bad this wasn't posted yesterday. I'm driving from Walnut Creek to Coos Bay and could have brought it up. I make this trip every month or two so I might be able to help in the future of you need it.

Mighty kind of you, and I appreciate it.  Who knows, I might need a hand on your next trip up this way.  It's only been a three weeks since I started my search.  it could go on.  And on.

I could use a NWKA Express volunteer to move a kayak either from the Ft. Bragg area or the Santa Rosa area to Walnut Creek.

Or from Ft. Bragg (or Santa Rosa) to up near Port Oford, a bit North of the border. - or anywhere near Roseburg on I-5 - would be tits.

Whichever kayak I can get to me is the one I'll buy, and neither of them are longer than 12-feet.

Any volunteers?

I’m going to be in the Santa Rosa/Cotati area next Tuesday 9/8.  I can bring it back to be in El Cerrito/Richmond.

I have a Viking Profish GT to sell if you are interested.
https://www.vikingkayaks.co.nz/shop/kayaks/profish+gt+-+ultra+stable+fishing+kayak+2489

Was a demo boat at Headwaters when Dan's shop was open.

Just under 12' long. Comes with removable tackle pod, which is convenient to remove when you are loading. (I have a Viking Profish Reload as my main fishing kayak, and love it.)

Happy to make a deal if you are interested in getting in back on the water. I can take some pictures if you might be interested. In Sacramento.

Thanks, dtizz, but no.  I'm hunting for a temporary kayak to work on building my strength after chemotherapy, not a permanent boat.  When I think I've done all I can with it, it's go to the kids and I'll start pedaling.  I appreciate the offer, but I must, regretably, decline.
