Took the yak out for this season's maiden voyage.

Just for the record, I have a SOT kayak, and I put in the plugs because if I don't I will have a wet seat. During the summer, it can be refreshing, and help keep you cool, but I'd rather not start out wet.

All in all, I'd say I had a good day.
It sure felt good to get out on the water.

I wear shorts.....if I get wet.....you are in the water after all? Don't bother me in the least!

yeah, I'm talking about about a SOT as well, in the cold salt water I usually wear dry gear in case I go in to avoid hypothermia, and it also keeps my butt dry in the seat!

Even in a SOT, if the foot wells and around your seat fill with water because the scuppers are plugged, it could be difficult to paddle and manuever and could possibly flip you in some chop/swells.
