The folding boat, in that repect, is like the suitcase bike. With my K-1 Feathercraft I can fly into a city, buy the fuel and water I need and take a taxi to the beach. With a bike friday, I can set it up right at the airport if need be. Now the impossible fantasy is to do both at once. Upon arriving at your preliminary destination, you set up the bike, stuff your supplies in the suitcase (which doubles as a trailer), and secure the K-1 bag to the top of the trailer. Then you're ready for anything, except when you get to the beach and try to figure how to cart the suitcase on the kayak! But for that, you could wander around the world... douglas montgomery *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
