Face....palm
« on: October 19, 2020, 06:55:09 PM »
 :banghead:


Checked the wind: good for my intended location.
Quick shower in locally made activated carbon soap: 👍🏻
Face paint applied when I park the truck: check.
Unload the canoyak for the quick trip across to cove:



Realize that the yak paddle is now missing:  :dunno:


Ugggg

Backtracked to the place I went last time I had it out, 3-4 days ago and it’s nowhere to be found. I have two or three normal canoe paddles but the way the seat is in this thing it’s be a PIA to paddle it. So looks like I’m going to be ordering a new yak paddle.

We've all done stuff like that.
One time I was headed to my hunting property and when I get to my parking spot, there  sits my Mick Mouse Boots right where I took them off a few days earlier.
I changed into my shoes and took off my insulated pants and heavy coat. Put them in the back of my truck and drove home.
Did I mention, it snowed about 6" the day before.   :knothead: :biglaugh:

Dont beat yourself up too bad. I left a metal detecting hand digger i had custom made which could pry open a car door in a pinch. I left it/dropped it at a local park. Went back....gone. As I get older I am tending to lose things more often. Mental checklists before going out are a MUST!

I lost a bow a few years ago.  I got home from hunting and was unloading my truck to see my bow was missing, I drove the hour back to where I had parked, like your paddle, it was gone.
      Luckily I received a call the next day from a guy that had picked up my longbow with my name on it, he looked me up and gave me a call.    Great honest guy. But honestly a left hand 62lb longbow doesn’t do a lot of folks much good. Lol

The way the seat is it’s super low. It’s actually a yak seat in a short wide canoe. Honestly, if the seat wasn’t in the way it’d be pretty easy to kneel and paddle with a standard paddle.

I actually broke-in my Damascus shooting glove BACKWARDS when I was knew. I still shoot it that way. Something about that thinner material feels better.  :dunno:

Put some of that foam insulation stuff on either the paddle or the sides!

I’ve done that before with my 17’ Grumman. Not so much for possibly banging a paddle while making a stroke, but for laying the paddle or other things across the gunnels, like a fishing pole or bow, etc.
