Rowland’s Rapier & Actua And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man – john, taupin
Around here we’re on the ramp this week, but I’m going to try to sit down and write a bit as I can or I should say as I can think clearly!! Thankfully Rowland W. sent me some pictures of his kayaks that I can show off! I had asked since I knew we all like seeing Valley Actuas & Rapiers. His Rapier is pretty darn fancy (see more below) so we can ogle that today and see more of the Acuta later in the week.
Preparations for a long few weeks on the road are in full swing. Mostly that means I’m trying to wrap up web projects for a few clients this week before I head out. I’ll still be packing my stuff when I’m turning into O’hare! I expect to stop back home May 31st, but then I’m only home for about a week, before we’re off again.
Let’s get happy and see some more fun pictures of Rowland’s Rapier . . .

ok, i finally created a blogger account. you can thank dick for that as his blog doesn’t allow anonymous posts and i had to sign up to do so.
very nice bow stall video by the way. Now there’s going to be a new trend. . Traditonal Freestyle!
Rowland, I think I’m suffering from kayak envy… What a beauty..
Josh – just console yourself that I’ve simultaneously incurred bank manager wrath! But she is pleasing to my eye! (The boat that is, not the bank manager!) Jason at Valley said ‘I’ll do you something funky’ (we’ve known each other for a very long time) – and all I got to choose was ‘red based’ or ‘blue based’! At the recent Anglesey symposium she attracted more attention than ANY other boat (even the Rockpool glitter-fests).

(Mind you, as someone in California said ‘never paddle a boat that draws more attention to you than your paddling skills can support….!)
yikes, I’d better get a Pungo quick!
