I have an older Seaward Tyee. It is a pretty good old boat, easy to stay upright, but not much of a handler.
I tried a Current Designs Sirocco last week. It was a nice little low volume skeg boat and it handled very well. It was plastic though so it was very heavy...
The second time I tried kayaking was in Baja at The Bay of Conception. Within 15 min of leaving the beach, we had a 30' whale shark directly under our boats. The dorsal fin slapped the sides of my paddling partners boat.
My heart was in my throat, I didn't know if I should be afraid or excited so I was a bit of both!
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I guess you could say the hook was set on that trip!
