All things paddling

I don’t have any experience paddling tidal waters, but my inclination would be to save up my pennies and buy a higher quality boat. And if she isn’t out on the water enough to justify that, I’d rent as needed.

 

Money honestly isn't an issue. We can afford whatever she wants. It's not about pinching pennies or skimping. It's more an issue of getting what is right for the needs. She doesn't need a Rolls-Royce for the afternoon cruise around town. The biggest issue is whether she can get it from the house to the water by herself.

 

I don’t have a first-hand testimonial but these seem pretty popular in the Facebook group I’m in.

For me, the boat of choice - thanks to @Inky_Wretch's recommendation - is a Native Falcon 11. It's a good fishing boat with a wheel at the keel. Wife isn't going to be fishing. She's just sightseeing.

 

Helluva job by these guys.

 

Every time I first see the title of this thread, I think it says “All things pudding,”

 

Over under of 5 people on here who will get that reference.

 

Or the typo

 

That’s what I get for finding memes at 3:45am. I knew I should have just made it myself.

I suppose I should stop hiding behind the bike shed and stand still…

 

Yes laddy.

 

Stand still laddy. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
