The tides finally cooperated! We took the sit-insides down to the south end of the State Park. 'Yakwife used the new Old Town, and I used her second-hand Necky Sky. She likes the Old Town better. ‘You didn’t know you were getting me a new kayak, did you?’ She found it less stable than her Necky, but it’s slipperier and she liked the way it paddled. I found the Necky to be more stable than the Old Town, but neither is as stable as my 3-foot-wide Ocean Kayak. The Necky is definitely the slowest of the three, but not bad. Sit-insides are a littl harder to get out of than my Ocean Kayak sit-on-top. I slipped getting out, and hit my arm on the combing or something. I’m like, ‘Where’s that blood coming from?’ There was another blue Necky Sky tied to a buoy. On the way back there was a guy in a boat next to it, so I paddled over to chat. He uses it to get to and from his boat, and he loves it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-kayak-thread/987161)._
