Have you ever done a race that involved paddling and seen someone pass you like the Roadrunner does Wile E Coyote? You see that spray of mist off the water? You taste that humiliation of being a chump compared to the human-outboard-motor that you just witnessed...Well stop being so hard on yourself! My fellow teammates on Fat Otter and I were ready this time. Since we were the third team to launch in the paddling section of the Pecatonica River during last week's Illinois Coast 2 Coast race, we had some time to set up our sting. Thirty minutes into the paddle, we pulled off to the side of the river and secured a motion activated camera that was able to see THROUGH the murky waters and look under the hull of any kayak passing by...and what did we see? That's right. Milan Kratka and his devious ways! This friendly, down to Earth, selfless philanthropist hasn't been completely honest with us, and the truth is exposed in this unaltered, un-Microsoft Paint-ed, high-resolution snapshot.
In doing some background research on Kratka, this investigative reporter who's currently on vacation from his day job and has a limitless amount of time on Wednesday morning, found irrefutable evidence that Milan and his equally impressive and well-mannered, delightful son share a love of the Flintstones. This technology of affixing wet-suit legs and slip-on flippers to the hull of his kayak is a direct connection to Fred Flintstone and his mode of transportation.
