Got my Ascend!!

I took it out today for a shake down cruise, and I wanted to do a wet re-entry to see how that would work. All went well it paddles very nice even with my old paddle ( I thought I might need a longer one). It tracks very well and it was a bit windy today. on the way to the Lake.ready to launchand away we go.I was able to stand up and paddle around with no problems. The boat is very stable, now I need to work on my balance LOL. Wow is that Billy E lol.Back on shore after my wet re- entry, Tried to film it but the battery went dead. Anyway it was harder than I thought it would be, my fault I am out of shape but working on it.I had read and watched YouTube videos telling how the factory seal job on the hatches sucked. Well I had the deck completely awash during my wet re-entry and this is all the water in the hull when I got home. 
Now comes the fun part rigging it out. Will start by pulling all the hatches and resealing them and replace the hardware. Will add more pictures as the rigging progresses.

One thing I would like to add is Lynn Loughran GSM Camping Footwear Gifts and Sunglasses, Is a Gem. She was so helpful and really treat us great. So if you are down there at Bass Pro you should look her up and tell her that she made a great impression on this old soilder.

Very nice.  I hadn't heard much about these and never really looked in to em.  I've got a new kayak on order now that I will hopefully be picking up this weekend.
