Hey Pat,
I just checked my Cetus and the skeg control is glassed in like yours but there is a plastic tube coming out of the back with the skeg cord inside. Mine is a cord, not a metal cable. You could email the Kayak Centre of Rhode Island, Wickford.

They used to have Impex kayaks

Is there anything that we could bring like salad, bread, wine?
If you prefer red wine you may want to bring your own as we don't drink it. ( We do however drink pretty much everything else ! )

White Horse Beach has no lifeguards or restrictions regarding landing a kayak. Usually the only people on the beach there are the vacation rental people. There are no parking lots there other than a couple of vacant house lots that the owners charge for parking, so no huge crowds.
