This is one of those places you just have to try paddle boards on and it will be the most fun you have ever had. This has been a few years in the making and we had a great time. We were just about to head home and get ready to head back out when we were told that the boat had capsized, they were just about to tow us out to shore.
You might have noticed that we weren’t really able to paddle for most of the trip. I guess we couldn’t get the boat to turn properly. It was pretty heavy too. As you can probably tell from the picture, we were lucky to be in the water, the boat was pretty much upside down and the boat was in the water for a long time.
Not that we are complaining. We just can’t get to the dock or to the beach in time to make it to the restaurant, so we had to just swim back to shore and go to the grocery store to pick stuff up. There were no problems though because we still have plenty of time to go back out and pick up a new boat before our rental ends.
Although we are still stuck at the dock, the boat is almost up to date (which is a big plus), it is still fairly new, and it has a new motor and a new engine, so it is in good shape. The fact of the matter is that the rental company still hasn’t gotten to the boat, so we had to swim out to the marina to look for a vehicle (a rental car, of course) to borrow.
As is the case with all rental companies, it wasnt hard to find an empty truck that was perfect for us to borrow. We had to ask the rental company for a credit card number to put on a credit card, but we had to pay all the extra costs like a $25 deposit in the first place.
We got the motor, which we still have to get a few days to get our own motor, the motor that we werent happy with, but its all good. We still have to get the boat, but we are going to borrow a boat when we get that. We are going to need to get a boat, and that will be a little more difficult. We also have to get a trailer because the rental company does not have a trailer.
The good news is we have a trailer and a motor and we can use that motor to get our boat and trailer. The bad news is we have not gotten our boat yet. Its at our apartment (we are going up to the marina for an hour to get it).
If you are looking for a paddle board rental service, it’s definitely worth your time to check out what they have to offer. Not only do they have great deals but they are also very friendly and helpful. The whole operation is very clean and organized so you can focus on getting the boat and trailer.
Of course, the trailer has a big old metal thing, but its attached to the boat with a chain, and that chain runs from the boat through a hole in the trailer. Once the boat and trailer are in place, we can start using the motor to get the boat out to the dock. Then we can finally get our trailer and boat in the marina.
This little marina is part of a larger network of boat docks with boat rental companies on the island. Because paddle boarding is a popular sport, the marina serves as a great place to practice. For example, if you get the boat and trailer at the same time, you get to practice pushing and pulling the boat. This is definitely not a place for the timid.
