I like this thread. It makes me feel less bonkers. 
	I love my boat and wouldn't hurt her feelings for anything. But I 
discovered need to get a friend for her. I found out she needed a friend when 
I discovered how far I really wanted to paddle. This developed within the 
first 2 months of paddling her.
	My 13'6" Breeze is a great boat and gets into the little places where 
we can see the birds. The main problem is that I'm really enjoying long 
distances and want to do more of that without devoting my whole life to 
getting places. Therefore I need to find the Breeze a friend who is a bit 
quicker. 
	The other issue came up as soon as we looked at the recreational 
kayak my SO has and realized that boat wasn't going to make it in the 
conditions I wanted to paddle in. So it is either another boat or limited SO 
paddling.
