I created this name to mean something like wanderer of waters/water wanderer: Nenyarandil (feminine gender). I researched using sites like realelvish and parf eldhellen and my knowledge of Nenya from the books, and my thought process was nenya- (of water, like how the ring name is translated - but is that only for Quenya?) + -ran- (to wander/wanderer, like used in mithrandir), and -dil as a feminine suffix. Does this make sense?

I just got into kayaking and am addicted already, so I’ve been scoping out used boats in my area. I’m looking for a beginner friendly boat that could grow with me a bit, and that is versatile enough to do calm lakes and rivers (which I’ll mostly be doing) but also be able to handle some open water (for example, Back Bay in VA which is a mostly freshwater estuary that is shallow, so the wind can create a little chop, but it’s not open water like the Chesapeake Bay). I found a used Riot Edge 13 in my area for $325. It appears to be a well-kept, clean boat. There’s tons of stuff out there from brands like Wilderness Systems, but less with Riots so I’m looking for advice. Does anyone have experience with this boat, and would it be recommended for what I described? Do Riots tend to be durable boats? If not this boat, any other recs? For reference, I’m a medium paddler - 5’4, average build. Thank you in advance!
