It would definitely be fine for a trip to the Dry Tortugas (Fort Jefferson National Park, west of Key West, Florida). The fare is ab. $110 plus $35 to take your kayak. It's a matter if you'd rather save 35 bucks. <<Some of us fortunate enough to travel frequently abroad might prefer a much lighter and portable boat (than even the K-light). >> The Puffin ( www.pakboats.com) fits that bill. Bill Longyard recently returned from a trip to Europe and was delighted with it. He also found that by using a 30" rolling duffel, he was able to fit the Puffin and his personal gear into the one bag. The 10.5' Puffin without the spraydeck weighs 19 lbs. I imagine the deck will add 3-4 lbs. There's also a 14' version. sandy kramer miami *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
