While I was at the State Fish Pier. enjoying a home brewed cup of Coffee and reading my new Book
“The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Provence”(I may be as F’D Up as he was) this morning. I looked up and spotted a fast moving object heading my way. Man, those Seagulls can fly when they get a Tail Wind! Then out of the corner of my eye I spotted a very slow, sluggish and weighted down surface vessel. Oh, it was Paul Morrison in his new Surge Kayak hugging the State Fish Pier. what a Beautiful colored (not Paul’s beat red face) Kayak, Light blue top with white hull. Very Sleek! (again, not Paul Morrison).
After Tossing Paul a couple of Lattof Farms Monkey Breads from Rockport, Ma.
He headed off into the Sunset, I mean Sunrise.
But, Really. He was moving pretty Fast. That new Boat will do him good in next years Blackburn Challenge. He has a little work to do getting out of the thing. But I promised not to say anything about that. If I had some Manbags I’d be out there with him on Sunday Mornings.
Here are a few Photos of Paul and his Kayak from today;
Hey, where’s the movie? And don’t say you sped up the frame rate because I was smoking this morning. You could have water skiied behind my rooster tail.
Then I think I’ve left Paul F back at the State Fish Pier and so I am practicing getting out of my kayak in the surf at Pavilion Beach. Those four inch waves can be intimidating and this new boat is like getting out of a long thin razor. Because I have a 32 inch inseam, I have to hike my butt onto the poop deck behind the seat and straddle the boat before it tips over. But the damn thing is like a pony full of oats and wants to buck me off. So just as a four inch wave puts me in the drink Paul F comes around the corner. Fortunately no camera.
Pee-Wee Herman: “I meant to do that”.
