Inflatable Kayak Blog

We’re staying with my wife’s sister and husband during the portion of our trip in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It had rained quite hard overnight and we wondered if we were going to get in any paddling Saturday since there was rain in the forecast. About noon we decided that since the rain had held off, we’d brave the wind and clouds and head out. Their house is about a block and a half from a boat launch in Torch Lake, so we drove over, pumped up the inflatable kayak and started paddling. Mainly we just wanted to get in the water and get a little exercise. The water alternated between almost calm and choppy due to the wind which also varied considerably. It was a cloudy day, so the scenery wasn’t that terrific, but the paddling was fun, as usual.
