Out for a 25 miler and bumped into some weather on Saturday. When I started out, clear, warm skies with temps in the high 60º's F (which sadly is quite good for Seattle). In under 20 minutes the water went from light chop, to 6' wind waves on colliding tides and winds. Very fun, but slow going.
http://tmblr.co/ZBIdSwN_iZM0I have gotten into the habit of always having my wetsuit kit with me in a dry-bag for my longer kayaking days (I can't imagine what it would take to get into a wet suit in a sit-in kayak... haha). Curious if other northern latitude (or southern hemisphere) Kayakers do the same.
Also, for those of you who are iPhone users, I have been on a crazy long search for a truly waterproof case. Have tried several out and most lack functionality when encased, or aren't truly waterproof. Came accross the lifeproof iphone case, so far, very impressed.
