Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
That’s cool! Does it make a big difference?
Definitely, especially running straight downwind, it can more than double your speed.
Even with a crosswind it’s a lot of force.
Awesome, that partly explains how you can kayak 33KM, which seems like a really long way to me!
You can do it without the tides, it would just take longer. 4-4.5 kmh is typical pace in a loaded sea kayak. I’ve done bigger days, including a Strait crossing.
I think my arms would fall off if I tried it 😆
