How many miles on your Hobie kayak ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

How do you keep your shoes dry? Miles are cool but I think some nautical calulations and the time on the water are more directly concerned with hours. Like ,engines are based on hours rather than miles traveled. To get a maritime license one needs "hours" on the water,for example. A good year is when you have more hours on the water than hours driving a car!! 1100mi. is alot of time spent on the water....

Hey Bro, every GPS has to be re-set before each trip so you get the real distance traveled. Satellite move & that puts mile on your GPS even if you are not moving, so try this: re-set it and stored it & by the end of the week see how many miles you got?

Many people on this board can probably tell that Scally has put in a good number of trips together. I saw him once at LJ and the guy was circling the grounds so fast I think he probably put on 10 miles by the time I cought my firs squirt. High water time like that is great, wish I could pull it off.
