Here is a photo of a river jet boat equipped with a serious boat rack to ferry yaks and canoes up the Stikine River in Alaska. These boat ferry boats and paddlers up river at high, planing speeds: http://www.kayakguide.com/Stikine.htm I appreciate all the inforamtion shared about boat ferrying as I'm about to try taking a couple of yaks up the head waters of St. Johns River here in Florida to explore Jane Green Creek as a day paddle. A boat ferry to the mouth of the creek will enable us to paddle the creek through Jane Green Swamp, an area where there is reputed to be no dry place to camp. I have to admit that, sometimes, motor boats can help us paddle :-) -- Al Vazquez KayakGuide.com tm Places to Paddle tm - Kayaking - Canoeing - Rafting - *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
