Which kayak?

Boys,

It's almost been a couple of months since my last entry. A fair bit has happened; I did the 13.2km Great Train Race (Puffing Billy) on 1st May, but shortly thereafter rolled my ankle and haven't done any exercise since. So I've probably lost all the fitness I built up since the start of Feb, which is pretty devastating.

Anyway, I'm going overseas on the 15th for a few weeks, and while I'm gone I want you to sort out this kayak business. In fact when I get back (22nd July at this stage), I want all this to have been figured out so we can start paddling once a week.
  1. Which kayaks will we buy?
  2. Where will we store the kayaks (a boat club would be preferable), and how much does it cost?
  3. Are rentals an option in the short-term?
This thing looks like the business - http://www.mirageseakayaks.com.au/mirage580.htm - check it out:
Many of these craft have travelled thousands of kilometres - including a non-stop straight line Bass Strait crossing by Stuart Truman in 2008.
DO IT!

  1. Check out the sweet colour schemes, and you can even get custom! Oh damn, I'm so getting a Wolverine-themed kayak, with claws tearing down the side.
