Today was a perfect most beautiful day.\u00a0 I used the opprotunity to take aout SAM’s kayak<\/a> – a 16′ x 22″ Perception Shadow – and did a turn around our lake.\u00a0 It is not too far, perhaps a mile, but it was fun none the less.\u00a0 While out I noticed the rudder<\/a> did not see to act correctly.\u00a0 It would turn to port fine but the starbord turn was very slow with full rudder against an unusual feeling stop.\u00a0 When I returned and carried the boat up to the shop, I looked into the problem.\u00a0 I had to laugh.\u00a0 There was no way the rudder ever worked correctly since someone had changed the foot rests.\u00a0 One of the foot rests had a tab sticking down that would not let the slide fully back.\u00a0 I took the assembly apart and removed the tab and re-installed and, walla, now it works.\u00a0 I was surprised that SAM did not complain sooner.<\/p>\n

Now I am wasting my time writing blogs<\/a>, answering emails and working on the\u00a0TSA Hangars\u00a0<\/a>website.\u00a0 SAM is out at a church function and who knows when the return will be.\u00a0 It was a fun, relaxing day with nothing to do.\u00a0 I talked with Jerry Moeller this morning and he is in Sarasota<\/a> with his boat.\u00a0 He hit someting with the props while going\u00a0down the Tenn-Tom<\/a> and spun one of the props.\u00a0 The water is so high due to hurricane Ida that he just pulled the boat and trailered it down to my very favorite marina – Sneed Island Marina – and will repair it there.\u00a0 So that is\u00a0it for this blog post, maybe later as SAM just got back and will have some tales to tell.<\/p>\n
