The three things that tickle my fancy. So simple, yet intricate at the same time. Join me in my musings, as iFly, iFish, and iEat!! In addition to these three activities, you'll also see quite a few random pics, videos, and type entries of thing I find funny.
Some fun trolling some new waters. I haven’t been fishing much, but I was very happy to get out there and catch some fish. I hope to get some keepers next time though! (via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uno_iZo2hi0)
Part of the fun of getting a new kayak is performing the custom rigging. Personalizing the kayak to suit your style of fishing is an exciting time. With a couple of year of experience with my old kayak, I looked forward to outfitting the Reload to make fishing from it a pleasurable and convenient experience. Prior to buying this kayak, I spent countless hours blueprinting my rigging ideas in my head. After a trip or two on the water, I was ready to install my rigging components.
The first items I installed were two Scotty Compact Threaded Deck mounts. These bases serve well in tight locations for the mounting of many different items. I like to use them for small items such as fish finders, lights, and camera mounts. Positioned in the fore portion of my cockpit, I intend to use these bases for my camera mounts. One on each side allows for different camera angles. When not in use, they sit flush and don't take up much space. Installation requires a 1.25" hole-saw bit, and a couple of smaller holes as well. Fairly simple to install. I used a bit of "Goop!" sealant to ensure a watertight seal.
The Tackle Pod makes for a convenient, modular system of loading and unloading. To take full advantage of this, I definitely had the plan to mount various accessories directly to the Tackle Pod. For starters, I mounted a YakAttack GearTrac. The most durable of their mounts, I mounted the 8" GT175. This metal mount is secured with eight screws. I also added a backing plate to the underside of the mount. The backing plate increases the surface area of the mounting points, making it more durable. Each screw requires a small pilot hole (drill bit is included with the GearTrac). I added Goop! sealant to the threads of each screw to ensure a watertight seal.
The plan has been to use the GearTrac to mount rod holders. The rod holders at this location will be primarily used for trolling. This position allows the rod holders to remain in my field of view, while not interfering with my paddle strokes. Attached to my GearTrac are two Scotty Gear Head Track Adapters. These adapters allow me to easily use Scotty mounts in conjunction with the Gear Trac. For the actual rod holders, I went with two Scotty Rod Master II 350 rod holders. These rod holders are not ones that "lock" the rod into place; they are basically 10" tube-style holders. I wanted these specific rod holders because they easily allow me to remove the rod from the holder when a fish strikes. I did not want to have to have to worry about unlocking the rod prior to engaging a fish.
Because the rod holders do not lock the rods in securely, I decided to tether the rods. The purpose is to keep the rod attached to the kayak in the event of a "turtle"/flip. They also will serve to keep me from accidentally dropping the rods overboard. I've had this happen before due to my own carelessness. Not fun losing gear when its preventable.
I wanted to achieve a neat and tidy solution for tethering my rods. I absolutely wanted to avoid unsightly cables and cords dangling about. I opted to try out the T-Reign retractor tethers, purchased from YakAttack. These units come with the flexibility to be mounted in a couple of different fashions. I opted to the convenient GearTrac mounting option.
The kevlar cord has a static strength rated at 53lbs. The end fittings (where I attach it to my rods) has a static force rating of 23lbs. This is more than sufficient to hold my heaviest of rods combos in the event of a flip/rollover. The cord has a length of 36". This is enough for me to reel in a fish with the cord still attached...should I choose to do so.
There have been some questions raised about the durability of this particular combination of rod holder/gear trac adapter/tether. Knowing my style of fishing, and my target species, I am confident that this combination will suit me just fine. I don't think anyone has used this particular combination of products in this manner, so I understand the skepticism. If things don't work out for whatever reason, I'll be sure to report and readjust.
Note: I've been fishing with this configuration twice. So far, so good.The rod tip and the drag of the reels work in conjunction to absorb impact quite nicely. I have also used this configuration for bottom fishing. The slip discs allow me to easily adjust the angle of the rods. For trolling, they are almost vertical.
I needed to install my side-mounted rod holders. In New Zealand, the gunwale flush mounts come standard on the kayak. For the vessels imported to the United States, they do not come pre-installed (yet the kayak has the molded impression for the installation). Typical flush mount, nothing special about them. The location allows for a convenient place to store your rod after landing a fish. My other kayak doesn't have these mounts...I am glad to have them installed on my Reload.
I am debating on installing a few more of these rod holders in the area behind my seat as well. They are useful for storage during transport at this location...thats how I have them rigged on my other kayak. But my seat is equipped with rod holders already. I may just stick with those opposed to drilling unnecessary holes in my kayak. We'll see.\
I still have to install my fish finder on my Reload. I have a Humminbird 386ciDI that I plan on using. The plan is to have a transducer mounted permanently to the Tackle Pod, retaining the ability to readily swap the head unit between my two kayaks. Soon enough...
On Monday June 2nd, I finally got my kayak! The third kayak I've purchased, this was my first brand new kayak. Being excited is an understatement.
Sexy beast!
Since I've been planning my customization in my head (and on paper) for quite some time, I knew how I wanted to rig a few things. The plan was still to take it for a paddle prior to any major rigging projects.
The first order of business was to install a couple of Scotty bases in the front of the cockpit. In my experiences, I've grown fond to Scotty brand rigging items. No need for me to go astray from what has worked so well for me. I like Scotty Compact Thread mounts to hold lightweight items, such as my video cameras. I like the fact that these are small, neat and durable. When not in use, they have a rubber cap to keep water from entering the mount.
Using the included spacer as a stencil/template, I marked my holes that needed to be drilled.
1 1/4" for the big opening, and 7/16 for the two side holes. For the larger opening, I used a hole saw drill bit. There's always that apprehensive feeling when it comes time to drill a hole in a virgin hull...but it ain't nothing to it but to do it!
I drilled the other two holes, and prepared the mount for installation. I used a copious amount of Goop, ensuring a water-tight seal.
With the mount inserted and properly seated, I secured it with the provided nut below deck, and voila!
I deliberately put enough Goop to have it ooze out around the mount upon tightening. You don't have to use that much, but it puts my mind at ease knowing I have a good seal.
I installed the other mount as well, resulting in this:
With that complete, I was ready to hit the water for the first sea trial. The following day, I headed out to Jonas Green Park in Annapolis, MD to paddle the Severn River. Speaking of "paddle", I also upgraded to a new, lightweight paddle. I purchased an Aquabound "Sting Ray" paddle...oooohhhh Carbon Fiber!
Loading was a breeze, partly because of the "Tackle Pod"...but mainly because I didn't have much gear with me. Two fishing rods, seat, camera mount, and C-Tug kayak cart. Within a few minutes, I was ready to launch.
First impression after leaving the beach was a good one. Initial stability was great. It didn't feel tippy in the least bit. Later in the morning I did more leaning, and it proved itself to be quite stable. Never once did I feel myself nearing the "point of no return". I took advantage of this stability to slide my way up toward the front of the yak to access the bow storage hatch. I was easily able to access this hatch. This is critical...on my other yak, I almost certainly need a buddy to access items in the hatch for me while I'm on the water...its just that far fore.
My new paddle made a world of a difference. Since my other kayak is primarily propelled by the motor, I never invested in a good paddle. I am glad I did now! The decreased weight makes paddling much easier and more effective.
The Viking glides through the water with ease. With a length of 14'9", and a width of 29", it definitely has the characteristics of a kayak suited for long distance paddling. I did not have my fish finder/GPS with me to track instantaneous speeds, but I did use an app on my phone to track my trip. Despite this trip being just a lazy paddle, my highest speed of the day was around 4mph. When I get around to mounting my fish finder/GPS, I will have more accurate performance numbers. Even paddling into the wind didn't seem too daunting, thanks to the efficient hull and the paddle.
"They" say everything is a trade off with hull design. If there is any trade-off with this kayak, it is in the category of maneuverability. Before I go into my findings, I would like to state that anyone buying an almost 15' kayak expecting sharp maneuverability is setting their self up for a let down. I understand this. I am accustomed to the HUGE rudder on my Ocean Kayak Torque. When a turn is initiated, the "bite" of that rudder is authoritative to say the least. The rudder on the Viking...not so much. By design, only a small portion of the rudder is submerged. This results in a smaller surface area usable for turning the kayak. With this, I found myself using the paddle to account for the lack of rudder authority. That's fine...just a change for me. Opposite paddle strokes are definitely needed when trying to make tight turns in this yak. For minor corrections in course, the rudder does its job just fine.
Later in the morning, I was able to "sto" the rudder by pulling it all the way up by hand (I was near shore when I did this). The rudder stayed in the up position, out of the water. This allowed me to test tracking. It had been a long time since I've paddled a yak without a rudder. My first kayak, a Syngergy 14, by Mad River Canoe, tracked HORRIBLY sans rudder. That experience made me say "I'll never paddle a kayak without a rudder again". Never say never, right? This kayak tracks EXTREMELY well! So well that I began to question if it was even worth the extra money. I was truly impressed with the tracking. I held a straight course for about 1 mile with minimal corrective strokes.
Storage on board the kayak is great! Obviously, the best storage area is the "Tackle Pod". This removable section can hold at TON of gear. I try to limit myself to just a few plano storage boxes. The tackle pod can EASILY hold everything I'd need for multiple fishing trips. I plan on using it as a live well to hold spot for my summer live-lining trip. Aside from the Tackle Pod, there are three storage hatches (two of which have removable drain plugs). These lids are definitely water-tight...so much so that they are hard to open. Hopefully they will get easier to open with time. These hatches are ideal for holding...stuff? I haven't a clue as to what I'll use them for, but I am sure they will assume a role sometime soon. Two are located just aft of the seat (one on each side), while the other is just in front of the crotch area. This front one is kinda hard to access while seated. Well, at least that's the case for a person of my size.
The main bow storage hatch is rather large. It can easily hold my c-tug cart. It is also ideal for stuff like a spare paddle, 2 piece fishing rods, dry bags, etc. The rubber hatch seal makes a water-tight connection, keeping everything dry.
Handling the kayak on the ground is a cinch. With a weight of 64lbs, coupled with the integrated side handles, I have no problem hoisting this kayak as needed. In fact, I lifted it over my head to place it on my Jeep's roof rack, which has Yakima Hull Rollers & Saddles. Loading and unloading is a cinch. It also worked well with my C-Tug cart.
Overall, I am very pleased with this kayak after this first paddle. Time will truly tell the story, but this first impression is very positive and promising. Now I just need to catch some fish!
*Note* I did have one failure on this inaugural outing. On the return paddle, one of my rudder cords snapped. Not sure exactly why or how, but I am working with my retailer to get this issue resolved. The repair is minor, but yeah...that happened. That's how i got the opportunity to test the kayak's tracking.
I ordered a new paddle, an AquaBond Carbon fiber paddle. For the longest, the paddle was never my primary means of propulsion, the trolling motor was. I know first hand what a huge difference a lightweight paddle can make. This was a necessity. My current paddle is a random, cheap aluminum offering that I purchased from Bass Pro Shops many years ago. It got the job done, but I needed something more effective and lightweight.
I ordered a couple new rod holders...two flush mount holders for the gunwales (sides), and two scotty mounts for trolling. The side mounts will be used to hold the rods after I land fish...assuming I'll actually catch fish :-) The trolling mounts will be positioned up front. They will face aft, as seen in many pics of rigged Vikings in New Zealand. While I found this positioning to be odd at first glance, it made more and more sense as I began to think about it. The rods are our of the way of my paddle stroke, and they are in my field of view & reach while trolling. These rod holders will be mounted to the tackle pod via an 8" YakAttack GearTrac.
I will install a few Scotty Compact threaded mounts. They will serve as bases for my camera mounts and fish finder. The fish finder will be mounted directly to the Tackle Pod. I will use my current fishfinder (Humminbird 386ci DI). It will be used interchangeably between both of my kayaks. For the sake of convenience, I will buy a second transducer to be installed on the viking.
As for now, I will share seats between the two kayaks. I currently have a "Big Catch", made by Skwoosh. I hope to get a second one, as I have found this seat to be perfect for my needs. The comfy get seat padding, the rod holders, and the tackle storage all make it ideal for my uses.
Thats about it for now. Pics will be posted as soon as I get my new kayak!
For the past few years, I've absolutely loved my kayak, a "Torque", by Ocean Kayak. It has done everything I've asked, and then some. I still love it, but I am looking to acquire a new kayak this summer. Not to replace my ole faithful Torque, but to supplement it. Despite serving as both a capable motorized and paddle-driven platform, I am looking to purchase a new paddle kayak.
My attention is focused on the new Profish Reload 4.4, by Viking Kayaks of New Zealand. After watching their promotional videos, reading reviews and reports from early-adopters in New Zealand...it looks to fit the bill for what I'd want and need from a kayak. 14.75' in length and a 29.5" beam sounds like a recipe for a relatively quick paddle kayak.
Convenient storage solutions provided by this kayak are a huge plus. The "Tackle Pod" will add to the "get up and go" factor that I desire. Drop in the modular storage unit (pre-loaded with my desired gear, fish finder, and rod holders) and I am all set to fish. The "Chill Pod" also appears to be a really conveniently integrated method of storing and transporting my catch, allowing me to not have to worry too much about handling a cooler.
One of the huge assets of this kayak will be the ability to take my 3 year old daughter out with me. She is old enough to know that I am going fishing when she sees my kayak atop my car. "I wanna come fishing with you!", she often proclaims. The easily installed "reload flat deck" will allow her to easily join me...it serves as an aft-facing child seat! With a capacity of 440lbs, this kayak will readily carry us comfortably.
As of late, I've been brainstorming as to how I intend to rig this kayak. Gear tracs, rod holders, etc...all things that I've been contemplating for my customization. Some rigging will be shared between both kayaks, like my fish finder. Other items will be kayak-specific.
This acquisition will not be inexpensive. When all is said and done, my initial purchases will be in the $2k range. The kayak price (including rudder) and all of my intended accessories add up quickly. I hope to purchase this kayak in June. Hell...it isn't even available here in the United States yet! It will be offered by my favorite retailer, Austin Kayak, sometime this month. Never having owned a brand new kayak, I am looking forward to this!!
In doing my research, I have had plenty of questions...as most people do prior to making a big purchase. I am very thankful for the friendly and helpful replies from the folks at Austin Kayak, as well as the guys from paddleguy.com in New Zealand.
I went ahead and got a new battery for my kayak for 2014. I upgraded to a 40aH Lithium ion battery, weighing just 9lbs. My previous lithium battery (which still works fine) weighs just over 20 lbs. I wanted something even lighter. Lithium batteries are still relatively expensive when compared to conventional wet cell and AGm marine batteries. Since I use my kayak on a regular basis, it is worth the investment for me.
The battery is comprised of 8 lithium polymer cells. These cells are controlled/protected by circuitry that prevents over discharging and over charging. Everything is shrinkwrapped into a nice, neat package.
This past weekend, I was able to test the battery on the water. I launched out of Jean Roberts Memorial Park in Havre de Grace, MD. I spent about 7 hours on the water! After an hour of use, I pulled over to the shore and gave a quick visual inspection of the battery. Everything was working just fine.
It wasn't till the end of the day that the battery was drained. The "Protection Control Board" wired into the battery shuts the power off when the voltage reaches 9.2V. This prevents over discharging (running the battery too low), which will damage lithium cells.
Here is a video from the initial test...

I am pleased with the results from this initial test run. I am looking forward to more trips with this light weight battery. The weight savings in my kayak are worth it!
Well yesterday was an adventure. While competing in the 3rd Annual Chesapeake Bay Kayak Anglers charity tournament, I fell out of my kayak. Knowing how stable my kayak is, I've always been intrigued in knowing exactly what others were doing when they've "turtled". My buddies and I have maintained the position that when most people turtle, its because they're caught off guard while their center of gravity is misaligned with the kayak. Well today was a different animal for me...
Weather conditions were not ideal for fishing the Chesapeake Bay this day. A stiff north wind of about 15 knots made for rough water. Waves reached about 3' in height. If I were fishing for pleasure, I would have chose an alternate location. But I have experience in conditions like this, and it was a tournament. I was determined to fish where I've recently had success. From the launch, I headed north directly into the 3' waves. I had many waves crashing over the bow of my kayak, with many of them hitting me directly in the torso. It was a rough ride out. Many times, the big waves COMPLETELY FLOODED my cockpit & footwells. It was intense.
On this rough ride to the bridge, little did I know that my kayak was taking on water. Every breaker I crashed over and through, resulted in water entering my hull. Since I was travelling straight forward, and the water conditions were already rough, I saw/felt no ill effect from this ever-increasing amount of water inside my hull.
Upon reaching the bridge, I began to fish. I was live-lining spot, in search of catching rockfish for the tournament. When I began maneuvering around the bridge pilings, I noticed my kayak began to handle in an awkward manner. Slow wallowing rolls from side to side as I tried to turn in various directions. This was not good.
The escape plan was to head due east, to the small beach at Hemmingways. Even if I could've made it to the protection of the highway, that would've protected me from the swells. Well, I didn't make it. I was travelling perpendicular to the waves, about a mile out from protection. I rode wave after wave, remaining calm, and keeping the kayak as balanced as I could. Finally, a 3 footer calmly sent me over the right side of my kayak.
It was the most calm event ever. It wasn't a rogue wave that caught me off guard. I watched the wave approach, but with a hull full of water, I had zero control or input on the kayak's stability. In the water I was, next to my upside down kayak. Shit. A state of shock ensued for the next 10 seconds. I fumbled to find my whistle (which was attached to the zipper of my pfd), then I began to blow like there was no tomorrow. I was able to see another kayak angler, but with the wind, waves, and traffic on the bridge, there was no way he could hear me.
After 20 seconds of whistle blowing, and drifting out of the other guy's line of sight, I realized that I was pretty much on my own. I reached under my kayak, grabbed the other handle, and flipped it back upright. Now it was time to perform the ever-important "self-rescue" maneuver. Self-rescue practice is fine and dandy...normally done in calm, shallow water...in an unloaded kayak. Well there I was in 3 foot waves and a kayak full of water. So uhmmmm yeah...it didn't quite work as planned. I could get halfway on the kayak, but the waves and the water inside the hull dumped me right back out each time. After three attempts, I made the decision that it would be best to conserve my energy alongside the kayak, and not waste anymore on what was clearly a futile effort. So there I was...in the water...alongside my bright yellow kayak.
After a few minutes, I saw a boat nearby. Back to the whistle I went. But again, they were so close, yet so far. My whistle noise was drowned out by the elements. They proceeded to go in between the bridge spans, getting ready to fish. I watched them turn around, now facing me. The waves made it hard to maintain visual contact. But luckily, I saw the boat go full speed and up on plane headed to me direction. Hahah! yes!! Knowing they saw me was such a relief. They coasted up to me...holding on to my kayak. I said "uhhh...hey". It was kinda funny. They threw me a rescue rope/float thingy, and pulled close to the boat. It was kinda tricky with the waves, but I managed to climb aboard their stern ladder. Boy was I thankful for them being there!
After boarding their boat, we tied a tow rope to my kayak, then we motored around to pick up some of my belongings that were floating in the vicinity. They asked me where I wanted to be taken. I asked them to just take me as close as possible to the beach at Hemmingways. We got to 2' of water, I hopped in and pulled my kayak to the beach (after thanking them profusely, of course). I sat on the beach for a few minutes and just began to process everything that happened.
As I began to empty the water from my kayak, I noticed the Natural Resources police boat. They were looking for me. An observant passing motorist (or passenger) must have saw me in the water next to the kayak and altered the authorities. There was nobody around on the water to see me flip, so it had to be a motorist that called. The officer came in as shallow as he could, and I waded out to him. He got the report of a yellow kayak in distress. *raises hand* Yep...that was me.
I ended up filing an accident/incident report to make sure the event was on record. My lost gear is covered by my home owner's insurance policy, so it is helpful to have an official police report for losses like this. A short while later, I hopped back on to the kayak, and made the 2 mile trek back to the base camp. (I trolled a bait on the way back....no takers lol)
So how/why did my kayak take on water?
Good question, right? My first suspect is the bow storage hatch. The lid wasn't fully secured, so every wave that came over the front allowed water to enter the kayak. Upon further investigation, I found another likely point of water entry. I noticed the seal was missing from where my transducer wire enters the hull. When my footwell would fill up from big waves, this lack of seal allowed water to drain into the hull. Not good.
Did you lose any gear?
Yes. While I didn't have a lot of stuff loaded on my kayak, I was prepared to go fishing for rockfish, perch, and bluefish. I had four rods, and a small tackle box with a few lures. Here's what I lost:
Daiwa Lexa & Trevala S Combo
Shimano Sonora & Shimano Sellus Combo
Shimano Sienna & Daiwa Pro-Z combo
Damaged items:
Contour+ camera (took on water)
iPhone5 (despite my measures taken, moisture found its way in)
Was your motor/battery damaged?
This was one of my biggest concerns! My hull was FLOODED. I keep my batteries for both the trolling motor & fish finder inside the hull. The batteries were fully SUBMERGED. I do not use waterproof battery containers...I've never felt they were necessary for my sealed batteries. My fishfinder stayed on throughout the whole ordeal. So that battery is fine. When I launched to head back to base camp, the motor DID NOT work. There are many variables in this system, so I have not pin pointed the failing component. However, I tested the battery when I got home, and the battery still works. I hooked up my electric fillet knife (which can be powered by a battery using alligator clips), and it worked just fine. *WHEW* I will probably replace the PCM though.
Within the next week, I will be troubleshooting the kayak's electrical components to see what the problem is.
What will you do different in the future?
Reseal all openings & hatches (duh)
PLAN on falling out.
Have a marine radio (shame on me)
Use rod floats!
Buddy up.
I hope to have the kayak back in full working order within the next week. Stay tuned!
My kayak sees a lot of wear and tear. Thank goodness the folks over at Ocean Kayak make a very durable product. Lord knows I DO NOT take it easy when it comes to putting my kayak thru the paces. With that being said, there are still some part of the kayak that see inevitable wear & tear. Today, I had to replace one of my kayak carry handles...
This past Sunday, I had the day off work from my part-time job, so I took advantage of some nice weather to burn some holes in the sky. I took a relaxing flight up to Frederick Municipal Airport for some breakfast!
The flight was non-eventful, which is how one always expects it to be. Breakfast was cheap and delicious...one of the benefits of airport restaurants in this region! Bacon...sausage...eggs...toast...home fries orange juice. All for just under $10!
For my boy James' 30th birthday, we went on a multi-day kayak fishing trip. The plan was to head down to the Outer Banks, NC, and work our way back north for a Thursday return home. This was a weather-dependent plan. And well...the weather told us exactly where to fish, and where NOT to fish. We loaded up our kayaks, and hit the road around midnight, Sunday.
We drove through the night, and arrived in Virginia Beach around 4am. At that point, we were both dead tired, so we slept in the car in the parking lot of the local bait & tackle shop. We picked up some bait, made a stop at Wal-Mart, and we hit the water.
First fishing location was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel. The targeted species were sheepshead, and spade fish. We caught neither lol. But that didn't stop us from enjoying the time on the water. Fishing with clam, I ended up hooking into my biggest fish EVER from the kayak. A 27" Black Drum. This was a shock, as I had been catching smaller croaker at the time. That was the highlight of the day, fishing wise.
It was great being able to finally fish this location. Rough seas & high winds often make this stretch of water unfishable. We saw plenty of dolphin, and numeours naval vessels including a destroyer, and aircraft carrier, and a submarine! Cool stuff!! Other fish caught here included spot, small flounder, and toad fish.
The next day we fished back waters in the Chesapeake, VA area. SLOW day of fishing. I only caught one fish...a 17" rockfish. I was happy to catch it,..it was my first fish I've caught while trolling. WHen we returned to the ramp, a nice lady let me try out her stand up paddle board. That was fun!
Day three, we fished the same body of water as the day before, but we explored some new territory there. I caught a 20" red (puppy) drum, and James caught a 14" speckled trout.
Day four, we ended the expedition with a boat fishing trip on Virginia's lower eastern shore. My neighbor setup the trip. We met him there, and we all boarded and fished ALL DAY!! We were catchign a ton of spot. I didn't want any, but I kept them nice sized ones to give to fellow anglers. From the boat trip, I brought home a decent amount of fish for the freezer. These included croaker, kingfish, and grey trout.
It was a great trip! It would not have been possible without the cooperation of our wives, and the accomodation provided to us by "A" & "D" in Norfolk....who let us use their house as a crash pad for the week.
Oh yeah, and on the drive back home, I had my first soft shell crab sandwich, ever. It was delicious!
Below is a video with the highlights of the trip. Enjoy!
My buddy and I are hitting the road tonight for a multi-day kayak fishing expedition. We are going down to Oregon Inlet, which is in the Outer Banks, NC. We will be working our way back north, kayak fishing along the way. We plan on returning back home on Thursday.
Hopefully I'll have a bunch of great pics, vids, and stories to share!
