Some things I learned tonight on the Apartment Pond as I will now call the pond in the middle of my apartment complex:

• If you paddle really hard around in a circle, you can catch your own wake (until you tire out).
• I need scupper plugs for a few of my scuppers.
• I need a hat without one of those beans on top - carrying 65 lbs on your head is only made tougher when a small chunk of metal is being pushed into your noggin.
• I could use a paddle snap or a paddle-holding system of some kind.
• My kayak floats in about 4 inches of water.
• When a fish jumps out of the water nearby, it can be scary.
• I love those little paddle drips that form a widening triangle of expanding circles.
• It's dark, my kayak is dark, and if you wear dark clothing you may as well be invisible. Ask the two people who had sex on their balcony while I sat talking on the phone with my parents not more than 50 yards away.

I bet nobody makes waterproof cases for iPods, do they? Hmmmm…
