James had acquired a new kevlar canoe that needed to be in the water so we took it out on a really nice August evening. We also got Mark and Paula to come along, and Paula had her first outing in the Looksha.
The Looksha doesn't have the initial stability of the Breeze that she is used to paddling so she was a little uncomfortable for the first bit. The canoe is also pretty narrow, but after getting the
feel of it we decided it paddles like a dream. With both of us paddling with kayak paddles we could really make it fly.There is a size limit for paddling this boat, though, as the back seat is fixed in place due to the way the back of the boat tapers, and it's pretty narrow. But it's really fast, if I hadn't mentioned that.
We just went out and paddled around, but it was a really nice evening just about sunset. Unfortunately the Lafayette Road bridge was still not finished so we had to thread our way around construction debris and a silt boom, but once on the lake it was really nice.
