Luckily, my kayak is only about 45 pounds...

so I can lift it myself. When we were taking the boat off the car in the boatyard parking lot, a guy came up to me with a little smile on his face. He said, "Chesapeake Light Craft?" I said yes. He said, "I'm building a Chesapeake 18. They are the best boats. Wood is still the best material for a kayak." I love this small world.

What a wonderful place to paddle. By the Lincoln Memorial, Memorial Bridge, and even the Washington Monument (under construction at the moment).
