Pardon the double meaning but that is really a work of art! Is that a Shaw and Tenney paddle?

Beautiful. My kayak is soulless plastic, but my boss built one of strip wood with a Pink Floyd inlay motif that is as much a work of art as yours.
I admit that I spend more time kayaking than sailing anymore. Opens up the local rivers much more practically.

That was the idea. South Jersey is full of small rivers, streams, and swamps that can be paddled, but not sailed. Even some of our more open water is very thin, so a Kayak or canoe is necessary to go do some exploring.

One can never have too many boats of all types.
