=== New Boat, New Day (03:11) ===

[00:00:01]  Okay, this is the new boat.
[00:00:05]  Try and get it all in there.
[00:00:09]  The office is messy at the moment.
[00:00:12]  I'm trying to get everything sorted out for new flooring next week.
[00:00:17]  This is that cardine flooring.
[00:00:19]  This just is terrible crap.
[00:00:22]  Almost tweaked my back out here, moving a chair because the chair sunk into it.
[00:00:27]  So you can't slide anything.
[00:00:30]  Anyway, this is the VR1 from Hookie.
[00:00:34]  It's an OC1, an ocean canoe single person, vacuum molded S-Glass, Kevlar, and carbon.
[00:00:45]  And I should be able to take it out in a couple of days.
[00:00:47]  I've got to charge up my GoPros.
[00:00:50]  I've got to wait for the wetsuits to show up because it's damn fucking cold in this water.
[00:00:56]  Then I'm going to go and get used to it paddling up in a small creek over here.
[00:01:04]  I had to come on out and do this early in the morning, guys, before my dog walk, just so I could get it done.
[00:01:11]  There's all kinds of activity here today.
[00:01:14]  It's going to be a nice day.
[00:01:17]  I've got to get in and sand the seat so it'll fit my butt.
[00:01:23]  Because I'm not sanding my butt to fit the seat.
[00:01:27]  So anyway, and then set it up and put all the GoPros on and so on.
[00:01:32]  Basically, you sit in it.
[00:01:34]  There's controls.
[00:01:35]  I've got a couple of dry wells in here so I can store camera gear and that kind of stuff.
[00:01:42]  And that's on more calm paddling.
[00:01:49]  And we're going to go on out.
[00:01:53]  I'll be bringing you adventures as I go pedal along in all of the coastal creeks here and go do steelhead fishing, that kind of thing, and exploring, which I'll get into.
[00:02:04]  I'm releasing a new website in a couple of days and it will have some content on it as to what our plans are for the future here.
[00:02:16]  Now that I'm starting to get some things straightened out after the cancer.
[00:02:21]  Anyway, so there it is.
[00:02:24]  It's from Hookie out of California.
[00:02:27]  Talk to Jude.
[00:02:30]  Amazingly, amazing shipping.
[00:02:33]  I mean, this here is just part of the pile of the packing material.
[00:02:40]  There's the rest of it.
[00:02:42]  But amazing job.
[00:02:44]  Tremendous delivery guy.
[00:02:46]  It's shout out to Steve.
[00:02:48]  He really knows what he's doing.
[00:02:51]  Huge damn trailer and getting this here way out in the Thule's where I am was some effort.
[00:02:58]  Anyway, so I'm just going to throw this up on YouTube and let everybody see the new boat and get on with the rest of my day.
[00:03:05]  I'll make a more polished formal version of it after I've got it all rigged up.
[00:03:11]  Thanks for watching guys.
