As I search around the Internet for other kayaking websites, products and other items I came across Sea Kayaking Dot Net. The author Adam Bolonsky is an avid kayaker from Gloucester, MA. He watches what is happening in the world of kayaking and is great about reporting the information to his readers, that is when he is not out kayaking. He also writes for several print and online publications.
Some of Adam’s latest posts have been about NOAA charts. Reading through his posts one can see why he writes for so many publications, he is clear and concise and full of great information. I will be adding his blog to my list of kayak resources and frequenting his blog often to learn more.
For a few years my Dad and I have toyed with the idea of setting up some shelves for the kayaks in the back of the garage, on the outside wall. We would like to put the boats up onto shelves that have little rollers on them so that you can slide the boats in and out.
I know that major manufacturing places have steel buildings, forklifts and all sorts of ways to store the boats. But we are looking for a much smaller scale in our own backyard.
However if I ever hit the lottery I am going to get my own steel building and buy one of every kayak I can find, live on a lake and spend the rest of my time kayaking in each boat and writing detailed reviews of the ins and outs of each of those boats. But, if some company wanted me to review their boat I would certainly be up for getting on the water to demo and then review.
For now our boats are on the second floor of the garage handing off hooks from the rafters. It is kind of a pain to get them down because you need two people. How do you store your boats?
