Alki Kayaks Demo Day

Toward the end of last month I had one of my favorite demonstrations of the season at Alki Kayaks. It was one of the first nice days of the summer so a lot of people were just out having fun. I didn't mind that we were not as busy as I hoped because the tours for Alki Kayaks (http://www.kayakalki.com/) were all full. Would you really want to talk to a rep when the day looked like this?

You have to go check out Alki Kayaks. Greg and his crew are about the nicest folks you'll ever meet, and they have captured the "day at the beach" feel even way up here in the NW.

Fixed Just in the Nick of Time

My last trip to CA treated me to 3 days broken down in Santa Cruz CA. True to the form of Santa Cruz, I was homeless since the truck was in the shop. What a treat. Basically, the Spider Joint on the rear differential was shot. I wandered the town of Santa Cruz with the dog and found that you can't really get a hotel that allows dogs in Santa Cruz. My favorite part of Santa Cruz was everything west of the low tide mark. Everything east of that tide mark must have been really cool 30 years ago.




I finally settled into my lodging in the back of my box trailer on top of life jackets. No heater neated as the trailer stayed nice in toasty from heating all day. I missed 3 solid days of work but had fun "on the road" in Santa Cruz.
