Kayaking on Derwentwater turned out to be more of an adventure than we anticipated. We were test driving a pair of P&H Capellas, thinking we weren't going to be putting them through particuarly testing conditions, but instead we certainly had enough wind to get a feel for how they would behave on open water. In the 160 I had a problem with weathercocking in the mild easterly, which would have probably been corrected by engaging the skeg fully, but it was a bit of a surprise. And manouevering felt like turning the proverbial bus. So even though the bus was a lovely shade of blue, it wasn't for us. The ducks were fantastic though.
