Five Kayaks are on the rack by the water, at the top of the stairs by the the water and/or in the basement.
The two small ones have plugs to drain water if necessary
The three large ones need a pump, which is in the shed, to drain water if necessary.
Please put three kayaks back on racks after each use (facing in to avoid filling with water when it rains).
Please put the covers on the other two kayaks (it’s hard but doable and better as a two person job) to avoid filling with water and bugs or back in the basement after each use.
