[cool][size 2]Glad you got afloat...and survived it. The first trip or two is usually about getting to know your craft and what it can do...and not do. Then you settle down and work in the fishing...taking full advantage of the reasons why you are not in a boat or on the bank.[/size]
[size 2]Of course you are going to feel the results of using muscles you haven't been using much. The good news is that you will be getting more exercise...along with your fishing. And, as has already been suggested, hopefully you get more exercise in your rod arm too...from bringing in lotsa fishies.[/size]
[size 2]One word of caution. Just because your 'toon is more mobile, don't take unnecessary chances. Pay attention to the weather and stay within your limitations. At least that's what Dirty Harry would say.[/size]
[size 2]Congrats on a successful shakedown cruise. Too bad the oncoming winter is likely to shut you down for awhile. But, I'm sure you will be on the water as soon as the ice goes out in the spring. That was always a good time for me...even if I did have to get out of the water and stomp feeling back into my frozen feet once in awhile.[/size]
