diveyak

[MikeS]

I dove off an inflatable diveyak for the first time today at Devil's Lake.  It seemed to be an easier way to get to the west shore.  I put in at the boat launch on the east side of the north end and practiced getting my lard butt in and out of the thing and tethering and untethering gear.  It was easier than I thought it would be and I paddled over to the rocks on the west shore.  I'll admit that it paddled harder than I thought it would.  Could be the added weight and the wide width of the thing.  I put a flag on the thing and towed it as my float.  As expected, it towed a little hard when I was dragging it against the wind, but winds weren't real strong today and it worked out fine.  Next, I'd like to try a two-man diveyak.  Nice experience, but I'm not sure I'll invest in one yet.
