Went to Percy Priest Lake this morning with Pete to try out his Crossfire kayak. The lake was beautiful. We put-in at Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina. Sailboats and kayaks, both being motorless work well in the same marina. Plus some thoughtful person covered the put-in area with carpet so it makes for a gentle and less muddy entry. There was no one on the lake on this lovely Monday morning, except two fishermen minding their own business. It was cloudy most of the morning so no need for hat and sunglasses, nice.
The Crossfire presented a challenge on wide open still water. Since it is smooth on the bottom with no keel it does not track. At low speeds it will go straight for a while but then it decides to turn and it is a challenge to get it straightened back up. It makes for very slow going.
Didn't take my camera so these pictures are from my solo journeys last Summer.
