Lesson: Retract the skeg!

Trip dates: 
Tuesday, May 11, 2021
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Kayak/canoe/rowboat

A peaceful, quick paddle on my fast kayak ended poorly when I beached without retracting the skeg. This resulted in a bent cable that gave a permanent half skeg problem that took an hour to fix the next day.
