Anyone have experience paddling a Nautiraid Raid II Expedition
solo for an extended period?  Is this too heavy a boat for single
paddlers (with the exception of vigorous youth which I'm most
certainly not) or might it be handled by we senior folk, perhaps
even with a 9 year old kid on board?

Any applicable experience appreciated.  My Klepper is way too
much to paddle alone and I need an intermediate choice that will
fold and fly.  Other suggestions appreciated.  I own two
Feathercrafts -- a K1  and a K2 and am not enamored of either but
other ideas would be most welcome.

Thanks for feedback,

Rich
