Looks like I might have to get around to fitting solar panel soon.

Stood down from work for the time being...
So looks like I may have time to make a start on fitting panel and battery to battery charger.

Had bits kicking around for a while....

Ctek 250s and one of these panels



should be a bit of upgrade from 2 x cheap 100w panels and £20 pwm charge controller on the transit.

Looks like a lot of panel for your pennies :)

It's certainly going to take some thinking about roof acreage wise (need to have kayak up there too)

That is a gorgeous open water kayak, so classic in line, however with those sharp deck lines, what's it like to right after capsizing?

It goes back upright easy enough....
Getting back in is interesting with my creaky bones...
And takes some bailing to get dry....

Only other one I've seen had a built in bilge pump...

I'm still debating whether to sell and get a sit on instead....
More practical BUT no where near as fast paddle ;-)
