I finally got my 3 year old out in the Otca. We did quite well going down a cove with the wind, paddling from the stern seat. Once we turned around, I had to climb over him into the bow to paddle. The wind was so strong that the boat weathervaned even after getting up a good speed it was very hard controlling the boat. Then I got mom to take the stern and it was much better.
Anyway, in a couple weeks we are going on vacation in the Adirondacks and I will be hauling the kayak on the roof, since I will be doing some solo paddlling and still have not mastered a 16-foot Otca in a good wind. I know I can get the kayak down to the end of the lake in about 25 minutes. There is some good pickerel fishing down there.
And the 3 year old likes to fish. He caught his first fish on Saturday. Actually two white perch.
