Actually, Rik, I don't see a registration for Todd. Sure it was completed? If not, I can register him.Rik wrote:My brother, Todd, also signed up. I should say, he got signed up in absentia.

Re: 2015 Frogman Video
(She really paddled backwards???? …lol) Yes, she really did, and with an upside-down paddle. When I tracked her down and discussed it with her, she said she and her husband always do it that way - they're "more comfortable in the seat" with it set up like that... :roll: :scratch: Greg

Re: 2015 Frogman Video
The best part of the day was the girl who paddled her cobra explorer with an upside down paddle and paddled her boat the entire way backwards. I did not even think that was possible. She was probably more tired than any swimmer by the time she was done. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphoto...

Re: 2015 Frogman Video
One thing I noticed is that some of the worst escorts were people that were brought by their swimmer. It is probably because they were mostly first timers and less experienced kayakers. This is interesting, and something I haven't heard before. That will be a featured component of information sent ...

Re: 2015 Frogman Video
From the organizers - thank you VERY much to everyone who took the time to come out and support this event. As you can all see, we REALLY need many more kayakers with experience. We had extended conversations about how to vet people's capability, but it just hasn't been practical. Todd, "they&q...

Re: Not much in the Kitchen
Went very well - thanks, Rik. Robert and I were just talking about making the Kitchen our target area for this year - there's a lot of water to learn there.

Re: Not much in the Kitchen
Fished around the islands - east and the north lee sides - and in the maze. Only saw three slot reds together, back on the flat near the creek mouth. Didn't get further north onto the flat, or further out.

Not much in the Kitchen
First time out into the Kitchen area of Tampa Bay's South Shore, just north of the Big Bend power station. Launched from the Kitchen Branch culvert on 41, at a dead low negative tide. Didn't have to cross any actual mud, but there were two areas where the kayak would not float with me in it, so I ha...
