WE AREN'T BIG ENOUGH TO BE CALLED A FLEET, AND IN NAUTICAL TERMS, A SQUADRON IS USUALLY COMPRISED OF SIMILAR TYPE VESSELS, SO WITH BOTH KAYAKS AND CANOES, "FLOTILLA" IT IS.
DOES THAT MAKE ME A COMMODORE RATHER THAN AN ADMIRAL?
NO MATTER, I WAS ONE HELLUVA LANCE CORPORAL MANY, MANY CANOE TRIPS (AND OTHER ADVENTURES) AGO.
WHICH MEANS WE ARE A VETERAN OWNED AND OPERATED BUSINESS, AND PROUD OF IT.
AND NOW TO WHAT YOU CAME HERE FOR, A DESCRIPTION OF OUR CANOES AND KAYAKS.
WE HAVE 17 FT AND 15 FT TWO SEAT ALUMINUM CANOES, AND SOLO AND TANDEM (2 PERSON) KAYAKS.
THE 15 FT CANOES ARE A BIT LIGHTER (55LBS RATHER THAN 75LBS ) AND HANDIER THAN THE 17 FOOTERS. MAX CAPACITY 650 LBS AS COMPARED TO 755 LBS FOR THE LARGER CANOES. THE 15' CANOES ARE PERFECT FOR 2 PERSON DAY TRIPPING OR FOR SOLO PADDLING, THE 17 FOOTERS FOR MORE CARGO, AND BOTH TYPES HAVE ROOM FOR A MUNCHKIN OR 2 AMIDSHIPS.
THE SOLO KAYAKS ARE THE SIT-IN TYPE, 10 FT LONG, WITH A SMALL COVERED CARGO BAY. EMPTY WEIGHT 40 LBS, CAPACITY 250 LBS.
THE TANDEMS ARE 2 SEATER SIT-ONS, WITH ROOM IN THE CENTER FOR YOUR WATER DOG OR MUNCHKIN, 10'6" LONG, WEIGHT 75 LBS, CAPACITY 455 LBS, AND VERY STABLE COMPARED TO THE STANDARD SOLO KAYAK.
IF YOU CAN PROVIDE YOUR OWN TRANSPORT, IT WILL SAVE PAYING US FOR THE HAUL. WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIE-DOWNS, PADS, STRAPS, AND PADDED RACKS, AVAILABLE FOR LOAN AT NO CHARGE. WE HAVE PUT CANOES AND KAYAKS ON OR IN JUST ABOUT ANY KIND OF VEHICLE LARGER THAN A BICYCLE, SO THINK ABOUT HANDLING YOUR OWN HAUL.
IF YOU HAVE OR CAN BORROW A PICK-UP OR A CARGO TRAILER, THAT MAKES IT EASY.
