  1. Nice video, makes me want to head right back out again. I just got home from paddling, lol.
  2. I talked to him. He is mailing out refunds for the current season. Old Quarry is no more. Another great coastal site locked up in private ownership. God speed to Capt Bill, and thank you for providing a wonderful service to kayakers for many years! Phil A
  3. Have had some problems with my Standard Horizon HX870 going dead until I bent the battery contacts out to provide a bit more "spring tension". 2nd one that's done that.
  4. Ignore the pink thing on the wish list... Not mine.
  5. You could try a right angle socket adapter with the appropriate extensions deep socket and a ratchet, you might need to fasten the affair to a length of board to stiffen it. About $25 - $30 on Amazon.
  6. Congratulations! You guys are an inspiration.
  7. The wife and I really enjoyed the navigation workshop, when you are self-taught you don't know what you don't know. I appreciate everybody's efforts and feel our kayaking community is so much richer for it!
  8. "Fundamentals of Kayak Navigation" by David Burch describes it. The kamal is still a tool recommended for use in sea kayaking.[5] In such an application, it can be used for estimating distances to land. The distance can be calculated from the formula D=\frac{Sd}{s} where D is the distance to the object, S is the size of the object observed, d is the distance from the kamal to the observer's eye, and s is the apparent size of the object observed. A knotted string tied to your paddle? held at arm's length, the other end in your mouth. Not sure of the exact procedure.
  9. Maybe touch on the use of a kamal or something like it for gauging distance?
