Thanks for the support and ideas, I'm afraid I will be landbound for a while as much as I hate to admit it. Yesterday the doctor said absolutely no weight on the foot. Makes you think though, I never thought as a healthy 36 year old such a small fall could cause so much damage, I figure I fell on it wrong.

: I was fly fishing for some bass yesterday when I slipped on a bank.
: I must have landed wrong because I broke a major bone in my
: foot, no fun. I am not supposed to put any weight on it for at
: least a month, this coming up on one of the better kayaking
: months around here. Any ideas on how I might get on the water
: with a foot in a cast? I know I won't be able to cartop the boat
: myself, but maybe I can get some on the water time with some
: help. The idea of 4 to 6 weeks not boating is not making me too
: happy.
