I camp out of my sea kayak fairly frequently.  I find I have plenty of room for
lots of little luxuries and usually have room to spare.  Now there sometimes are
people standing around watching me load and unload in awe...  My dog Happy and I
do quite nicely. I even have a little soft cooler I carry along that works quite
well if I keep it out of the sun and wet.  I carry Happy's grooming supplies
too!  Oh yes, and a bottle of sherry for after dinner...  :-)  Compared to a
bicycle, a kayak seems like a luxury liner..
