If you get call from me that sounds like I’m underwater, my phone is at the bottom of Lake Washington.
Not a good day, all told. Took the young’uns out kayaking, it being a nice sunny day and all. $25/person is too much to pay but we were there and they were into it, so I coughed it up and we set out. Strong wind from the south so we headed into it, figuring when we got tired we could take it easy coming back.
It clouded over as soon as we got out on the water. Feh. I put on sunscreen for this?
As for taking it easy on the way back, hah! A squall-ish rain burst came in from the north once we had turned around and beat us up pretty well. We never got any rain but the wind was something else. We made it back to the boat ramp only to learn that my phone (think a Lake Washington salmon will appreciate a RAZR V3c?) had slid out of my pocket and over the side.
Lessons learned:
- Seattle raft and kayak doesn’t really cater to people who just want a paddle on the lake: the $25/person is for a full day or whatever part of it you use.
- Sit-on-top kayaks are awful if you have any wind to deal with. I was a sail, for all intents and purposes, and that worked against us both ways.
And now I have to deal with Verizon to get a new phone and their online account system is all kindsa messed up. We have had the same numbers since they were AirTouch in 2000 and they still don’t know that we have two numbers on the same account?
