subject: [Paddlewise] need kayak rental in Seattle
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 15:38:34 -0700 (PDT)
I have given up trying to ship my kayak to Seattle for
the Skin Boat Gathering Apr 23-25.  But I am still planning
to go, and do not want to sit on the beach all day.

Does anyone know anyone in Seattle who would rent me a kayak
fot that weekend, to go to Fidalgo Island (the kayak would go
on top of a rental car)?

Or should I rent a foldable from here?

Also, if you know the details, is Bowman Bay very far from Seattle?
How long does it take to get there by car?  Ferry prices?

I really appreciate your help.  If anyone in this list is going
I would like to get together so that I can follow. :-}

thanks!
- Julio

Heading up to Kure Beach, NC, this weekend to take on Cape Fear with my
brother.  [Hate missing the symposium, but we've had this one planned for a
bit!]  Weather looks fine for both locations -- sunny; highs in the high 60s
to low 70s; lows in the mid 40s to low 50s; though a bit of wind is on the
docket (5-15).  Should be an awesome paddle!!!

In the meantime, had a couple of questions to toss out to those familiar
with the cape neighborhood.

-- Are there any kayak shops in the Wilmington/Cape Fear area?
-- Are there any legal camping areas along the shoreline leading to the
cape?
-- And, if no legal camping areas, are there any not-so-legal areas we could
camp in without worrying about being escorted away in the middle of the
night and having our gear being confiscated?
