Mercy Me's lyrics:

"Bring The Rain"





I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace

Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of

The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy

Is the Lord God Almighty

Casting Crowns' lyrics to...

"Praise You In This Storm"




I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls

I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus:]

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when

I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls

I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus]


I lift my eyes unto the hills

Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

[Chorus x2]

I'm no "expert", but...

was wondering what your "expert" opinion is on this one! the yellow one. would tracking be pretty good? it's 11 ft I think.

                                                                               oh yeah, 11 feet, 6 inches. My short kayaks are only 10 feet long. I can ride in them, but they are awkward for me (but then, I am over 6 feet in height). I mostly use them when I can only carry something smaller, rather than trying to carry one of the big ones down the hill.  As for "tracking", I would think that they might track better than my 10 feet long kayaks, but I am not too sure. They are kinda "boxy" looking. I am not sure. I suppose only experience would tell. Buy one. Let me try it; and I will advise. Seriously though, I just don't know. I certainly ain't knocking it, I just have never ridden on a sit-on-top kayak. I feel like they would make me feel top-heavy, because I am used to sitting down below the water level in mine. 

Tumblehome. I thought that was the term that I was trying to remember. 

tum·ble·home/ˈtəmbəlˌhōm/

Noun:
The inward slope of the upper part of the sides of a boat or ship.

That is one of the images that I found after looking up the definition.
 









and more...


Now, maybe I can add another pix that I found when I looked up "tumblehome"...oh, nevermind. It was inappropriate.  Well, sorry I probably haven't answered your question, but I do like "your kayak". Are you sure that December will be too cold to float?
