Great photos being posted, the underwater world has such vivid colors and alien looking creatures and flora, surreal-

Byron-
Very cool to have lifelong friends!
We moved around a lot in my younger years, I'm lucky to have one best buddy I've adventured and laughed with since 9th grade.
Something we were able to do differently, our Son was born, raised and self ejected from the same house, still has people he knew in preschool around here.

Thanks Bugs!
I'm happy I bought the used Pygmy (that sounds bad) and as far as durability, 23 years and no cracks, weak spots or hole punched in it thank goodness.
Seems like it was engineered very well and strengthened with over lapping sections inside as needed.
My worst fear is dropping it or running it into a rock hard enough to turn it into damaged art that won't float.
It's slippery when wet, I keep a huge towel in the truck to protect the top of the truck and Yak while loading- I also have learned to dry it off or ask for an extra when loading it.




I've had a 15' Coleman Canoe for many years, it's just not as much fun as the Yak but crazy durable and good workhorse-
This was 2019, loaded up my flotilla and took a BIL out for a paddle- he had to use the electric motor set at about 3 of 5 to keep up
