Re: [Paddlewise] floating campsites

Once I sketched out an idea for two kayaks to join together in tandem with
cross bars.  A fabric stretched across would form a platform for cooking and
sleeping.  Then one could anchor in shallow, protected coves without having
to go ashore on fragile islands or areas where camping is not allowed.  Of
course, quite a bit more engineering is needed to make the rig lightweight,
strong, and practical.

I believe Herreshoff cruised in a small catamaran as a lad.  Anyone ever
hear of such an arrangement for kayaks?
