Hello Arthur and all,

Glad you added a comment. I had been reading this and was beginning to 
think I was strange or something(well, I might be that).
While I have never been in my kayak for anything as long as Arthur, my 
normal day in one is 6-12+ hours. I get out because it's time, not 
because I'm tired of being there. Infact, I'd say that my kayaks are the 
most comfortable place I've ever sat(and stayed awake). .and yes, I've 
even spent the night in the big one(old folbot, super).

James
