No newsprint :) My camera is waterproof and I have a floater attached to it, so I hope that I don't loose it. As for the kayak it is very stable and only feels tipsy when getting in and out. Mostly out, but at my age I have trouble getting out of my easy chair after sitting in it for a couple of hours, LOL.

Good for you! I wondered if you tipped over or doesn't that happen what would happen to your camera when you are kayaking? Cute scale! Seems to me I had a similar one when Our first baby was born! Finally got around to posting my blog today. We are still in limbo here waiting to hear for sure that the sale of our house went through. Did you pack your dishes when you moved? If so, what did you use for packing them? I am afraid to use newspapers for fear the print might come off on them. Enjoy your summer!

My kayak is small enough that I can almost get it into the trunk of my car. So, I push it in and bungee my trunk down and take off :). I don't think that I would ever have the strength to put in into a roof carrier, not at my age and the fact that I am a shortie :) I'm always figuring things out, in ways that I can do them by myself. I'm not ready to sit in a rocking chair, Not Yet!
