Great lessons learned on that trip. The best one was #5. Yeah when working out either paddling or pedaling a Kayak, your body has no problem processing a larger number of beers in 4 hours. If you're out in La Jolla for 11 hours, 6 might not be enough. #4 on the list is also a good one, some guys use a gatorade bottle. If you don't empty it right away it might be a good idea to label it or permanent marker on the side, the intended use. On my older Malibu X Factor they have a scupper directly in front of the seat. That is one of the best features, never have to move or kneel down or use a bottle. #1 on the list is not correct as Wilderness Wanker stated, it's best to have leashes on all expensive gear. All it takes is one quick unintended move and you're in the water. I think it was Jim Sammons who said "where your head goes your body goes". Almost every trip is some new lesson learned. Tight Lines!
