Wilderness Systems Tempest 165

I am the original owner of this poly tough and durable sea kayak. But now it is time to let it go. It has some typical scratches on the hull but it's in great shape and handles wonderfully on the water. It has always been stored indoors and washed after each use. I am also including a PFD and sprays...

Re: Youngerish kayakers..

Excellent Question! When I first began kayaking in my late 30's, I often wondered why I was always the youngest kayaker in the group & why I hardly saw younger people sea kayaking. I would actually come across some younger paddlers when I was taking different kayaking classes or trips but that w...

A few years back, I had Charles River Canoe & Kayak replace my cable on my plastic Tempest. It cost about $30.00 and I had the boat back in a couple of days. It's been working great every since.

Did you launch from the town landing? If so, was anyone checking for permits. The town of Sharon usually has some teen sitting at the entrance looking for permits to use their launch.

Do you like to go fishing or camping?

I know several of you enjoy fishing while kayaking. If so, you should take a ride over to the Pro Bass Shop @ Patriot Place in Foxboro. I went there today and was amazed how enormous the place is. They have stuff for camping which I know some of you do while on an extended kayaking trip. The first p...

I want to thank you all for being so flexible. It looks as though the majority of responders can do "any" of the dates listed on the poll. If that is the case, I vote for either April 21 or 22. Both will work well for me.

I had a relief zipper installed in my wet suit shorty by a diver's shop in Plymouth for only 25.00

They are located on Court Street. Just ask one of our paddling Plymouth residents to drop it off/pick it up for you.

Pat,

I "drive" a WS Tempest. If you come to the pond tomorrow look for 2 people with all yellow boats. I will be the one having difficulty rolling while the other does it effortlessly. My kids will also be there.
If Monday's paddle falls through, let me know.

I live in Walpole and often paddle Pleasant Bay. It takes about an hour and 45 minutes for me to get there but it's one of my most favorite places to paddle. Tides will indeed play a factor if you are not familiar with the layout of the bay, since it's possible to get caught in the shallower section...
