"new to me" kayak and a reminder. 06/10/2018
I picked up a project kayak last week and went to the lake. Its a skinny boat and I haven't paddled a sit in in probably 13 years.
I was paddling along a shoreline and came across a turtle tangled in some fishing line which was wrapped on a tree branch.
I didn't have a knife so I put the turtle and branch on top of the kayak and paddled till I found a boater and he removed the line and set the turtle free.
So, reminder to self is always bring a cutting tool of some kind even if I don't plan on fishing.
I have more pics but not able to load them.

Pretty pictures and pretty boat. I’ve never paddled anything like that - is it tippy?

F.O.C., I grew up raising small Terrapin turtles & truly love all turtles. I hate turtle soup & all MFers who illegally catch turtles for money. If I see it, I either kick some ass or report it.
God bless you for saving that turtle. Keep it up!

A front tooth chipped twice. Only took two times to learn not to do that.Crusader wrote:Smth's wrong with your teeth?

Good for you and the turtle! I recover miles of discarded fishing line every year. Birds get tangled up a lot in it too. People suck.
