^ Buckethead, funny you should think that. He and his wife participate in Marathons. I think he has done a few TriAthlons as well. He's older than me and in amazing shape. He can catch more fish from that paddle yak than someone fishing side by side with a pedal yak. He's been to Montauk in the yak many times, and I would say he is pretty tough...with a keen focus on safety.
He was out again on the 25th..

"Launched into sheet ice early this morning. After 75 yrd it was mostly clear sailing. No fish, but, I'm mostly out here to paddle on a nice day."
