Took the Boat out again today. Took it down to Lock 32 on the Erie Canal . There is a lot more room to run . Soon as the video finishes up loading I'll attach it to this tread . Flipped the boat twice today. I picked up a Proboat Miss Gieco17 to use as a rescue boat it worked great for the first flip until the battery ran out of juice. Let my buddy play with the boat before it was rescue time. Big mistake. When I flipped the big boat the second time I had to use the Kayak of shame for the first time. Didn't fill the bottom of the kayak with air ( didn't no where the valve was).
Took about 10 mins to paddle out to the boat while taking on water. Took about 15 to 20 to paddle back with about 8" of water in the kayak. It was 89* out , I was nice and cool in the kayak but I was exhausted from hauling myself and all the water about 1/8 of a mile back to the dock. I should have had the camera on for that episode . It was comical. Also found out I bought the wrong size life vest . It didn't fit . It was like I was re-enacting the scene "Fatman in a little coat" . So as I was taking on water it was like "Well I guess the captain goes down with his ship " Oh I forgot to mention next to the lock is a water fall and the current kept wanting to take me and the kayak towards the falls. Can you say Mommy .
