Gillian Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 wider kayaks provide maximum stability on the ocean which is what you need so you don't have to have the skill set in order to go on long dangerous ocean trips.duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Well, I always thought it was so that you'd have enough room to store your pfd next to you in the cockpit so it was right nearby in case you flipped over. That way you could easily reach it and put it on while thrashing around in the cold water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillian Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 No, my pfd doubles as a seat cushion - the cockpit space if for my beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shewhorn Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Clearly the both of you need the extra beam to carry all of the BOOZE you've been chuggin' before logging in this morning. LOLCheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Joe,What have YOU been drinking? When you have too much beer, the kayaks don't get wider, you just end up with more than one. Geez, I thought everyone knew that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I successfully walked down part of the bow of my chinook and back while on the water once...which really doesn't serve any purpose, but you can't do it, can you? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shewhorn Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I didn't know that but... I always thought that NESC should have an open bar and maybe a pool table (or I suppose maybe a billiards table would be more appropriate). I've spent way too much time over there this past week (Brian, watch out... I may steal your cot there!!!). I never knew that boats had such a voracious appetite for FOAM!!!Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefloats Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Suz could stand in our Old Town Adventure XL 160...(26" wide) I can only imagine the acrobatics possible in our Old Town Adventure XL 139 (28" wide) I think the Chinook will be a refreshing step up for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefloats Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 ...that's if you can keep up without passing out in exhaustion!!! those without the skills set, are more likely to be using the wrong muscles to paddle too...(I speak from experience of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brwells Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 >>watch out... I may steal your cot there!!!So that's where it went. I thought it was reposessed after my having not been on the water for two weeks. Feel...skills...going...must...dry suit...arrive...soon.

shewhorn Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 >Feel...skills...going...must...dry suit...arrive...soon. >(Language skills included) Brian if it helps, the experience is easy to replicate. Every 10 minutes yell "uh oh" and dunk your head in a bucket of ice water. Alternatively you can also consume a pint of ice cream as quickly as possible (the later is at least tasty if not a tad fattening... especially if we're talking about mint-chocolate chip). The end result is similar (in my case a string of four letter expletives followed "damn that water is cold").BTW... you can have your cot back. I don't want to see any more foam until I buy my next boat.Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
