Sammamish River Kayaking (Mike & Suzanne)

Mike and Suzanne tested out the new Advanced Elements inflatable tandem kayak during a beautiful Spring day along the Sammamish River.  The test proved to be educational, as we learned that we couldn't get the kayak inflated properly with the pumps that we had at our disposal.  This meant that the kayak dipped so far into the water that the deck was almost at water level.
