new to NWKA

My name is Rob, I have viewed the site for a while, but just bought a Hobie 17t and thought it was time. I live in Marysville Wa. I was the owner of a nucanoe 12, but sold it and bought the Hobie in hopes of expanding my opportunities. I have a lot to learn, but look forward to getting started. I hope to do more salt water trips this year. very glad to be here.

Welcome Rob!  You must be one Herculean dude...how on earth are you going to load and unload a 206.5 lb kayak (dry hull weight)?  I'd never heard of the 17t so just looked it up.

 Thanks I would like to go fishing sometime, I really look forward to fishing more in the yak. Most of the time i lakes, but have lots of gear to start the salt water.

Welcome Rob! Did you happen to pick that boat up at the Sportsmans Show?

Hello, Rob.  You've been around a while, huh?

Your Hobie 17t may redefine the "supertanker" category for big, heavy kayaks!  Not teasing you or giving you grief, just surprised that I, too, had never heard of it, and that it's that big.  Heck of a fishing platform, I bet.

Do you have immersion gear for ocean fishing yet?  Have you practiced self-rescue and rolling it right-side up in deep water?

Glad you started talking to us!
