Peddle, paddle, sail? What’s your poison?!

Sue Morrel (cottage on south side of Kelly) and Stan were observed passing our shore Saturday in a unique watercraft that caught my eye and interest. What a way to go! Hobie’s production line of kayaks includes this three-in-one (possibly four, if you consider drifting!) boat that allows you to either paddle the boat, peddle it, sail it, or a combination of all three! This is a craft I definitely would be interested in. Talk about a full-body workout! Get tired doing one thing…? Defer to another!

As a sailor, not all of sailing is sitting back and watching the coast and/or water go by. Back, shoulders and arms are employed to raise sail with halyard, set sail, maintain trim by adjusting sheets, and tack/gibe. All-in-all, this boat provides plenty of varied exercise; the way to go for fitness and fun!

Thanks, Sue and Stan, for taking a moment to pose for the cams (web cam and photo). To learn more about this watercraft, log on to http://www.hobiecat.com/kayaking/index.html for “Adventure Island” model. Roger
