Sea kayaking with seakayakphoto.com. Imagine you are at the edge of the sea on a day when it is difficult to say where the land ends and the sea begins and where the sea ends and the sky begins. Sea kayaking lets you explore these and your own boundaries and broadens your horizons. Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering. Sunday, August 09, 2015. Caught between midges and reefs on Inchmarnock, a hard place. Mike and I rose early on Inchmarnock. Unfortunately so did the midges and we fled to the shore.

Sam and Dad's Self-propelled Adventures. February 8, 2010. My Dad finished the coaming and it looks great. It has hardened enough so that we can now pull it off. Next dad and I removed all the tape and plastic on the kayak. This is what the coaming looks like. We will have sand it smooth and then permanently glue it to the riser strips. Laquo; Kayak Build. Now I get your posts in my email so I know I can come see something new! On February 9, 2010. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Kayak Build | Self-propelled Fun
https://selfpropelledfun.wordpress.com/2010/03/16/kayak-build-11
Sam and Dad's Self-propelled Adventures. March 16, 2010. Yesterday my dad and I completed a major step on my kayak; we glued the deck to the hull! First, I had to put thickened epoxy on the shearclamp attached to the hull. Dad put more epoxy on the underside of the deck. Then came the big moment, dad picked up the deck and we placed it on the hull! My dad and I clamped the two halves together with straps. Hey, my kayak has a new friend! Laquo; Kayak Build.

The Lazy Randonneur: Penny Farthing World Tour
http://thelazyrandonneur.blogspot.com/2008/11/penny-farthing-world-tour.html
I'm lazy, but I like to bike. I'm full of contradictions. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Penny Farthing World Tour. All photos: Joe Summerfield. Two things you don't expect to see in a bike tour journal. A guy touring on a penny farthing in Tibet. The same rider getting a wisdom tooth pulled while camping without anesthetic. Holy cow. That is a serious tour, on a fixed gear Penny Farthing! Makes me feel like a wimp getting into randonneuring on a recumbent. November 11, 2008 4:50 PM. Vik's Crank Forward Blog.

Sam and Dad's Self-propelled Adventures. May 30, 2010. I can remember it like yesterday when the plans arrived in the mail. I can also remember when we where gluing strips of wood together for the deck. I can’t wait to paddle my kayak for the first time, we’re almost done! We are on the last big step: varnishing! Q: why is there plastic hanging from the ceiling? I am so exited that my boat is almost finished. Now all that I am worried about is I hope that my kayak floats! Laquo; Kayak Build. Create a fre...

Sam and Dad's Self-propelled Adventures. April 14, 2010. My kayak is almost finished! This past weekend I put an another fill-coat on the kayak deck. The hull is finished but the deck needs an additional coat of epoxy. I also put a coat on the hatch covers. Dad is making hold down hooks for my hatch covers. He has been having trouble deciding what he would do for a hold down system. He decided to experiment with carbon fiber hooks. But he is not sure that he will use them. Laquo; Kayak Build.

The Lazy Randonneur: Marathon Supreme Tires
http://thelazyrandonneur.blogspot.com/2008/11/marathon-supreme-tires.html
I'm lazy, but I like to bike. I'm full of contradictions. Thursday, November 20, 2008. Marathon XR 26 x 1.6" = 595g. Marathon Supreme 26 x 1.6" = 440g. I've been using the Supreme's since they were released. They are wide enough to work well on graded surfaces and are tolerable on roughed up ice but forget about it on smooth or black ice. Had to pick myself up a few times last winter for those conditions on my commute. November 20, 2008 12:40 PM. What size were you using? November 20, 2008 12:51 PM.

The Lazy Randonneur: Pulse Braking
http://thelazyrandonneur.blogspot.com/2008/09/pulse-braking.html
I'm lazy, but I like to bike. I'm full of contradictions. Saturday, September 13, 2008. Recently there was an online discussion about the best way to brake on a long mountain descent and the theory behind why the pulse braking technique works was very well explained by Tony Raven. I've pasted in his comments below with permission - thanks Tony! For the same reason alternate pulse braking also works because it doubles the rim surface temperature of the wheel you are braking over braking on both wheels but...

The Lazy Randonneur: Bike Touring Tibet
http://thelazyrandonneur.blogspot.com/2008/10/bike-touring-tibet.html
I'm lazy, but I like to bike. I'm full of contradictions. Friday, October 31, 2008. I came across this book at MEC. A few weeks ago and have enjoyed reading about bike touring in Tibet. I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of the information published in this book, but it seems quite comprehensive and is well written. Although I think tour journals like those at Crazy Guy on a Bike. And travelers' forums like the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Vik's Burning Man 2007 Blog.
