I’ve been hankering for a kayak for years now. It’s just never been the right time. With the Yukon before me, I began to wish that I had made it the right time at some point.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, on a whim, I decided to check out kayak listings on the local Craigslist. If the first one matched my criteria, I would consider it fate. Said criteria were: about 16′ long (ie. open water model), lightweight, well worn in (I don’t want to be the first one to scratch the bottom!), removable keel, no more than 400$, and blue. The colour is silly, I know, but I just can’t see myself in a red kayak!<\/p>\n
