I've been fishing offshore with my Hobie Revolution 11 kayak a few times and on choppy days, the yak seemed to have difficult tracking correctly, on larger waves it sometimes suddenly starts to spin around, surely due to the fact it is lifted and the rudder is not touching water anymore. Reading from some forums, an upgrade to a larger rudder blade will help with that. So I went and purchased a larger rudder blade and also a Turbo ST Fin upgrade for the mirage drive to give it a little boost.

Instead of having the upgrade done by the shop, I decided to save some money and do it myself as this is not a difficult job.

Password and Private Keys security

You all know that your Steem password is the access to all your STEEM, SBD, posting, transferring, everything... right?
So, please, follow these simple steps and keep yourself safe:

1. Apart from the initial setup of your account, NEVER use your password ANYWHERE, if stolen, it will give full control to your Steem account.
2. Backup your password and keep it somewhere safe. Use a password manager like Lastpass, print it on paper and put it in a safe (no kidding). If you forget your password, no one can help you out.
3. To login for creating content and curating, use your Private Posting Key
4. To make transfers and account operations, use your Private Active Key
5. To encrypt and decrypt memos, use your Private Memo Key
