Spirit is like a horse

I often think about how similar my kayak, Spirit, is to a horse. 

  • When I pull the painter, it feels like pulling a stubborn horse’s lead line. I have to encourage the boat/horse to follow
  • She’s like a pack animal
  • She’s like a trusty steed
  • She’s pretty cute
  • Sometimes I talk to her
  • I’m always glad to see her waiting for me where I left her
  • Cleaning her and keeping her in good condition feels like a privilege, not a chore
