Stan's newly-acquired sky-blue kayak came home tonight, a 12-foot Old Town Dirigo featured in the LL Bean spring catalog. Stan found his on Craigslist and drove to Mendota Heights with Kathleen to get it. Mike took our $600 and gave us his wife's kayak, the car-top carrier and a paddle.
A very good deal, we thought. His wife appeared relieved just to see it all go. She rarely used it, and said it made her seasick.
Stan hopes the craft will provide an interesting workout routine on the nearby river and lakes. Should be good for upper body strength, and it won't wear out the pegs like pounding on pavement does.
But if it never comes out of the garage again, so be it. We'll put it back on Craigslist for $700. Worked for the Bowflex.
