New to Market: Oceanside Parcel with Southeast Exposure

Nancy likes the challenge of real estate, and she excels at it. “I love getting people and places together,” she says. “And I’m just as happy selling a small parcel of land as I am a waterfront home or an in-town fixer upper. I have to mix it up to keep it fun.” Nancy has a great sense of humor, a zest for the business, and she keeps her eye on the big picture. “It’s not that worn carpets or old appliances don’t matter, it’s that we can address those issues in a way that keeps people on track toward the ultimate goal--buying or selling that property.” Nancy has been in real estate full-time since the early ‘90s, so she knows her way around.

Size and configuration of the kayak are determined by the type of trip you want to make; for example, specialized kayaks such as surf skis are narrower than the typical open-water ocean kayak. Some may have upturned bows, providing better performance into ocean waves and better wave-shedding properties. The length of the ocean kayak affects both its cargo capacity and the ease of staying in a straight line in the water–its “tracking” ability. Very long ocean kayaks are easier to paddle straight, but are harder to turn and maneuver, so they are used mainly for long, open-water trips. The width of the ocean kayak also affects the cargo capacity, the size of the cockpit and overall stability.
