I am planning on taking my Pygmy Coho on a couple of trips this year where
portaging will be necessary.  One trip, the portage will be less than a
mile, but through brush of unknown density.  It is a bit of an exploratory
mission, paddling an old grease trail near Prince Rupert for the first time
in a century or so.

The second trip has a portage from hell, about a mile and a half, and the
parts that aren't straight up are straight down.  I walked it once, with no
boat, before they lengthened the trail by 40% by putting in the switch
backs, and the grade was about 1 in 3.  It's down to a comparatively flat 1
in 4 or so now...  

In any case, is there anyone out there with plans or ideas for a yoke that
would fit into the cockpit of the boat, but be removable?

Rob.
