I am pretty excited. So pretty much ever since I can remember I've been on the water. Either with a kayak a Canoe or something. As a little toddler my parents would take us out flat water paddling on lakes and stuff in New Hampshire. I absolutely loved it. And then growing up I got my 1st Canoe. I don't even know if it was technically my Canoe but in my mind it was my Canoe. I think somebody gave it to us because it was crushed by snow falling off the roof. So we patched it together with bondo We paddled that thing around it was awesome. Growing up a relative gave me a little tiny sunfish sailboat. So I was sailing a that all the time and absolutely loved it. And then when I moved away from home I got into white water kayaking. For the last little bit I haven't really been on the water that much. But then coming to Switzerland the lakes here are absolutely amazing. Just crystal clear water and the views with the absolutley absolutely beautiful. So I've been like scheming away. How can I get back on the water? So I've been looking at different boats I've been looking at sailboats but you have to take a special class. I don't wanna do that. I've been looking at canoes and kayaks and finally I found one that I like. So today we're going to go check it out. Now I've got a little problem. So we have our little van but no trailer and no roof rack. The Canoe is definitely not going to fit on the inside. So I've got to figure out how to move this Canoe around. So here's my solution at least until I get a roof rack. So the Van has Built-in mounting points for an actual roof rack. But I don't have any metal and I don't have a roof rack as I said. So I just took bolts and used those attachment points who is 2 sheets of plywood. Glued it together and bolted it on the roof. Hey maybe it will work. But then it rained on my plywood. But they look pretty strong still. We will see.
