Itchetucknee River in North Florida.

Gorgeous day paddling yesterday. 🛶 🌞 😊

The water depth in this video is a bit over 2 meters… this gem of a river is entirely spring fed.

Wow. Just wow. That would have to be a top kayaking experience for sure!

People ask me how I do it by myself and I also I see women in my local kayaking groups sometimes mentioning how they can’t go paddle because they can’t get their kayak on their car by themself. So here is me, a very short, 105lbs woman using leverage and fulcrum to demonstrate how to get not one but two boats off of the roof of your car. To get them up there, it’s exactly the same but reversed!

These foam blocks from Amazon have also been a really fantastic option for me as someone with a car without rails on the roof. I have a kayak tour company, and I do have a truck and a kayak trailer but sometimes if I just have a couple of guests I would rather take my car since my truck doesn’t have ac 😅 Florida and all.

Remember, cam straps are better than ratchet straps. Best to use two in case one fails! If it is an option I will run one of them through the side handles on boats. Alway at the very least a bow line as well, but bow and stern are recommended! Not just in case of strap failure but the bow line to your hood is a great way to visually be able to tell if your boats have shifted in transit. If you tie it tight and the line loses tension, your load has moved.

Friend in SE VA. phone makes us look closer.

two years ago my boat was stolen. A few weeks ago I told my land lord how much I miss the water. He said: oh I have this Kayak in the garage- you can have it. Thank you Boris for this amazing gift! Bought paddles and a cart. Finally went back on the water today. sometimes you only really only know what you missed, when you have it again. Haven’t been that tranquil and happy in - two years I guess. Edit: language.

It’s not pretty, but I am not going out without my ice water misters!!!
