So in a few months (2), ill be headed down(up?) to CT, to visit my gf's mom and sister, and we usually go kayaking, maybe 10 miles round trip. This year I was thinking about taking a uke with me, seeing as we usually chillout for an hour or so floating. (this is my way of saying my gfs a weakling, and cant keep going) Normally in the floating stage of our trip, I take a nap or go close to shore looking for shells. So this year im seriously considering taking my uke. I say considering because im not so sure how I feel about taking a wood instrument with electronics anywhere near water. The answer to my problem is a Fluke. UAS will probably strike again close to the time ill be leaving for CT. SO, a few questions regarding the instrument and how ill be going ahead with this;
Id be planning on getting the plastic fretboard, Tenor sized (as you can see in my marketplace thread) but has anyone taken a Fluke or Flea kayaking or rafting or anything real close to water?
How did it go? did it get in the way alot?
What happens if it gets wet?
What happens if I (seriously) drop it in the water?
The bag it comes with, can I sling it over my shoulder like a quiver?
that covers the water questions,
on to the more important ones;
What color to get?
I like the Island etched, Moonlight, Mango, Natural and Macadamia
Theyre all so purty :/
(also, for those that have a tenor sized they want to get rid of, head over to the marketplace)
