*Day 69 - Wilderness Systems 'Tsunami 165'

We had the largest group of the year on today's Wednesday Morning Paddle with twelve of us kayakers taking to the water from the Aqua Adventures dock. Or normal route took us out the jetty and around the OB pier and back. I paddled the Tsunami 165 which is one of the Tsunamis that actually fits me fairly well. It's not my preferred style of boat but I do find it quite stable and comfortable which are two of it's main design features. It does edge a turn fairly well although you must be patient as it's a bit slow to respond to maneuvering strokes.
