I finally got my new Iggy wet, and she did well. A 5 mile open water paddle across Platte Bay on Lake Michigan's western shore just south of Sleeping Bear Dunes National lakeshore. With just a light chop to start, 1-2 footers by late afternoon, it made for a very pleasant day on the water. I added an album to my website http://woodformkayaks.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=12368278 in case anyone wants to take a look. With the 3.2 oz. glass this boat came in at just over 28 pounds, and it's speed compared to my paddling partners made me aware of how much size and weight can slow you down. Of course, it could be my mighty paddling stroke......yeah, right :-)
