Puffin adventure in Belize           January, 1999

Dear Alv,

I've fallen in love - albeit with a Puffin SportKayak. Earlier, I told you that I took it out for the first time on one of those mild December days on Jamaica Bay. I was pleased with how quickly it went together and how well it handled, but as my wife and daughter were waiting for me, I didn't get much of a chance to try it out.

Three weeks ago I had the chance to really give it a try on a fishing trip to El Pescador Lodge in Belize. It was superb. Went together in less than 15 minutes; takes longer to blow up the flotation than it does to assemble.

After wending my way through about 100 yards of mangrove channels, I was out onto miles of open flats and just had a ball, paddling and fishing. Would have done more fishing, but I forgot my anchor and was getting pulled around by small jacks and barracuda.

A pleasure to travel with and lots of extra room in the bag for other stuff. Can't wait to take it to Scotland and Ireland in May.

Regards,
