Stella's Ready for Paddling Season!

Both Stella and I are done with winter

and ready for paddling season.

Stella's former pfd was worn out and needed

to be replaced, so I bought this Ruffwear pfd at Altrec.

Here's Stella diving into Carlyle Lake,

wearing her older pfd:

Springtime, here we come!

Although I have a canoe, I'm considering a kayak. Something to splash around in a lake or Class I/II, with Stella of course.

Something that loads easily onto the truck.

Something I can put her onto/into when we're in the water.

So far, it looks like the best option is a Sit-On-Top.

Now to decide if I should do a one or two person?

How long 'til I train her to stand on the bow, like in the picture above?

Email me if you have ideas on the right playboat for our needs.
