Taking up Keith's challenge to de-lurk for the survey, I'll come out and
humbly submit my Folbot Greenland II to the list. What can I say about
this kayak? It fits in two bags that in turn fit in my closet or in the
back of my little Subaru. Stable as they come, tracks through wind and
waves just fine. Not fast, but fast as I need it to be. It's a double
that works well as a single. It'll carry most of my earthly possessions
if the valley I live in floods and I need to make a get away. I love
this boat.

My wife got me to go to see Titanic with her a few weeks ago. She was
moved by the scenes of people either desperately trying to get a place
in the life boats or nobly standing back so others might go. She wanted
to know what I would have done. Easy. Would have unpacked  the Greenland
II.
