Yes, that's right.
 
For the past month or so I've been Kayaking with one of my Flower Mound cycling buds.  Today, the girls went, including Angie.  I'm not yet ready to buy one, but close.  My friend, Bill, uses his GPS, so we can track stats.  We kayaked almost 10 miles in 3 hours.  Wind picked up some, but it was a blast.  He let me use his new carbon fiber paddle.  It cost a whopping $400, for a paddle!  Light weight, and shapped really cool.  Next time I'm going to take my ipod.  
 
It takes a lot of upper body strength and a solid core, neither of which I have very well developed.  So I'm going to continue to Kayak, which is a great way to get a 2-3 hour upper body and core workout.

You need to get a Hobie with mirage drive.  You have a recumbent, you need a recumbent kayak also. http://www.hobiecat.com/kayaking/index.html   I am trying one of these out in November when I go to Hattiesburg.  http://www.ridesouth.com/ in Jackson is a dealer.  There are lots of people there who have bents and mirage drive Kayaks.  It's likely going to be my next "bike" purchase.

Funny that someone mentions kayaking, this weekend I'm heading down to Austin to support a friend as she races in the Colorado River 100.
 
I've got a Wilderness System Pamlico 120 in my garage, kitted out for overnight trips, that I am thinking about selling.  I've tested the Hobie Mirage drive in the past as well, Austin Kayak has them at all their Demo days.

We took kayaks out on Rowlett Creek a couple of times when we lived out there. Pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

I mentioned Austin Kayak in my previous post, and today I got the email with the Demo Day dates.  The one in Austin is Sept 26/27, so if anyone isn't at the Tejas 500, and wants to check out great deals on kayaks, as well as a chance to try different 'yaks, it is worth the trip.
