Thanks to WWALS Board Member Janet Massengale for delivering the Skimmer 128 Hurricane kayak to raffle winner Belinda Edwards Herndon in Live Oak, Florida.
It’s slightly-used 12-foot 9-inch sit-on-top kayak with paddle, a Hurricane Skimmer 128. Continue reading
In case you’ve wondered where the WWALS jon boat sleeps between chainsaw cleanups, it has a nice nest in some woods with a boat cover.
So does the raffle kayak.

WWALS Jon Boat with Hurricane Helene debris
It got a few small pine limbs on it from Hurricane Helene.
Those are gone now, and there is no damage.
The prop guard got broken two outings back. I have ordered two more: one to go on, and one for a spare.
The tarps blew off the boat rack, but the kayaks and canoes are undamaged.

The raffle Skimmer 128 Hurricane kayak is top center. One of three WWALS canoes is bottom center; the other two are under steel roofs. My kayak is on the left. Gretchen’s kayaks are on the right.
On the TODO list is to build a better boat rack. We already have the steel roof for it, courtesy of a roofing job after Hurricane Debby.

Thanks to Shirley Kokidko for leading it.

The next one is Friday, January 6, 2023.
Please make your boat reservations in advance. If we know more boats are wanted than the limited number at Banks Lake Outdoors, we can bring more, but not if we don’t know.
And please get there before the safety lecture. If you show up after that, we don’t like to, but we will turn you away. Gather time and paddle time are posted for each paddle outing. The safety lecture is before we paddle. Continue reading
