The Coffee House

The verdict is in:
I can NOT stand in the new kayak.
I have been using my sot fishing kayak so long I have forgotten how tippy a sit in can be.
I am quite sure sitting in the kayak doing nothing stupid I will stay dry. But I won't be able to just swing around to get pics of birds.

Many years ago I had a 15-foot canoe (Coleman). I could stand in that though it took some effort.

I have an Oru Lake, and found that there is no standing in that thing, and absolutely keep away from the shoreline on the lake, because the boat wakes will swamp it in a heartbeat. On the positive side, it's easy to dump over to drain out. It is more of a calm river or lake kind of kayak, but it is easy to transport, because it is an origami kayak that folds up and has a carrying handle.

That could hold a ton of Chinese take-out! Maybe two.
