To paddle or not to paddle?

29-4-2006 Voordelta, Aardappelenbult: René testing the new Vestvika.

I will finish this post tomorrow. René has already written a report of our trip on his blog -> you can read there more about my doubts and mixed feelings on cancelling a planned seakayaktrip. Here are some pictures of this sunny (but very cold!) day on a confusing (nl: "warrige") choppy (nl: "woelige") sea.

It was my first saltwater experience with the Pintail. It did a good job: it's a fun kayak to paddle under these conditions, reliable and manoevrable.
