Not sure of the exact weight, I'm guessing more like 45 lbs because it is longer than yours but fiberglass. It seems to get heavier every year.
I've been kayaking with a kayak and canoe racing club for fun and exercise and they think mine is pretty ridiculous as they wander around carrying their K-1s etc in one hand. Actually the club is great and caters to all paddlers so they have some big sit on tops and training kayaks that are a lot more stable than the full on racing ones. In any case I can still keep up with the 8-year olds but expect they will blow me away in a year or so.
El nino usually brings us drought and bushfires. You can't win in Australia.
The 'getting heavier every year' syndrome is shared. Do Yoga so I can keep lifting the damn thing. If I get a taller car, I'm scrood.
I'll hope for Goldilocks Conditions for me skippy mates.

Yes. Our local reservoir was down to something like 20 or 30% full in 2020 before a couple of years of La Nina that filled it and then some. Wasn't so great for the town downstream that had 90% of the properties flooded when they had to spill. The lake is fed by 2 rivers and I paddled up one of them as far as the water backs up. You are looking at the trickle that is the "river" feeding in and sand left by the flooding. Good for boating, watering the garden, and having something to drink for now.
Wilderness Systems fiberglass Tempest 165. They don't make them like that anymore. I have a plastic Nordkapp, too but prefer the Tempest.
Had a Cobra Navigator SitOnTop that was stolen from a local lake couple of years ago. Heavy sucker to transport on my own. Decided to replace it with something I could manage by myself to go anytime I want.
La Nina is *supposedly* to transition to El Nino conditions this year.

Bwaahha! I was thinking recently about the time I dragged my dearly beloved out at 12:30 AM to sleep under the stars, only to be woken at dawn by gunshots all around, and we learned it isn't a great idea to skitter around on the ground on the first day of small game season.
