Sailing a Hobie - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I borrowed a sail for my Revo once. It was a lot of fun and made it easy to cover long distances. The only issue I have is where do you put the sail while fishing?

A really cool thing happens when you peddle with the sail deployed. As you are propelled through the water by foot, you create, "apparent wind" which, as it blows over the sail, creates horizontal "lift" which, in turn provides additional thrust.

I know it sounds weird but this really works.
