All this talk of the Romany Explorer has me thinking I should budget for a
new boat this year.  I currently have a Prijon Expedition and a whitewater
boat each of which have their uses and which I'd keep for those 'uses', but
there's this wad of money burning a hole in my pocket and nothing I can
spend it on really generates the excitement that the thought of a new boat
does.  So, if you were a person of small stature (5'8.5", 140lbs) and you
wanted a serious sea kayak capable of long, self-supported trips that would
last you for as long as you can imagine and would make you smile every time
you thought about it, what would you buy?

Kayaking is the most enjoyable activity that I've ever participated in and
it would be really great to have a boat that made me want to call in sick
every day of the week so I could paddle.  I paddled a P&H Sirius at a local
shop's demo days last spring and it made my Prijon feel like a barge and I
hadn't really felt that way before I sat in the P&H.  Something sleek and
fast would really be nice.

Thanks,

Glenn
