How to launch your kayakWritten by Jakob Jelling
Continued from page 1
If you think that this method sounds too complicated, some people find that it is easier to get into their kayak on dry land. However, you should only use dry land launch if you are on a sandy beach where there are no major obstacles between yourself and water. Then, pull your kayak out so that bow is actually floating. This is so that you will not have to drag your kayak over too much sand before you get into water. Keep in mind that launching your kayak can get a lot more dangerous and difficult if you are launching in an area where there is a lot of surf. While it is always possible to launch a kayak in high surf, you’re probably better off avoiding this. Therefore, you should try to find a beach that is sheltered for launching your kayak.

Alonzo Morning will be back packing Heat for Miami this year. Just in time to get warmed up for a strong playoff run. Shaq is happy, and so is city of Miami. I don't know what Raptors were thinking when they included Morning in Carter deal. Alonzo had already said that he wanted to be traded to a contender, not a pretender. While Raptors got off to a smokin' start, and have showed brief flashes of potential, they also are on brink of extinction. You gotta wonder about intelligence of Raptor management when a moron could have predicted that Morning would never have renewed his passport, much less played for Toronto this year. 3-Points!: Has Vinsanity affected Nets? The jury is still in selection mode right now, but we are keeping an eye on what is going on in New Jersey. Not only have Nets got back into playoff hunt, but their recent acquisition of Cliff Robinson for 2 2nd round draft picks may help solidify a place in post season. We thought with Richard Jefferson being grounded, that Nets would just turn tail and run, but apparently not. Vince has re-emerged as a force, and Jason Kidd is playing like he deserves MVP. While I have to stand by my earlier statements about Air Canada, I will at least pause for a moment and see if I don't have to eat my words.
