FWIW, I learned yesterday that the kayak pieces (including the biggest chunk—the bow) are being examined by NHMP. (Forgot to ask where, though).

The kayak's color is blue-gray.

Depending on the weight of the skier and the number of skis used, you can waterski at half that speed.

For a full-sized adult, it's "work", but it's still done and enjoyed by thousands. In considering the full history of the sport, perhaps enjoyed by millions!
