Hey Y'all...

     I need a sea kayak and a big cooler for the weekend. Anyone on the east side have such things to loan me for the weekend?

I may be able to hook you up. What time do you need it by? I got a 17' Tempest you can borrow. The skeg is kinda janked tho, so you'd have to baby it to prevent further jankage.

Who, me? Or Jim- Ima have Jim cruise by n pick it up.
You hear that Jim? You're good to go. Contact James and pick it up at his place.

Here are some basic rules for the Salt Yak though:

1)ABSOLUTELY NO DRAGGING. Pick that beast up and carry it like a man, or get some help.

2) make sure you retract the skeg before you land. Better off don't use it at all if you don't have to. Its kinda touchy and jams easy. If pebbles or gravel jam in there it won't work. So try to check it and make sure its clear of debris if you plan on using it.

3) the mini cel foam seat is loose. Try to ensure it doesn't get lost. It may be in one of the hatches, thats a good place for it wjen you transport it. I need to re attach it but I'm kinda particular and odd about that stuff.

Just take care of it, I'm confident you will. Try to give me a shout if you're gonna pick it up.

Where you goin? Don't, like, run Jefferson creek in it or nuthin hahah I'm just being absurd.
