I also have a mini-cockpit cover made by Voyageur which be slid forward and back for variable coverage, and it has a plastic strip and a webbing strap to adjust bulge height. I got it a coupla years ago and it's worked fine for me.

Any Peach State residents (or visitors) who can offer some advice? We're planning to head down to Georgia for a long weekend on Labor Day weekend. We're leaving from "The North State" - North Carolina. Would like to plan a weekend where we do some paddling, but also get to look into some local culture (I've heard there are some Gullah cultural sites?). We'd like to limit driving as much as possible, so not sure if some of the islands around Savannah would be a good choice, or if we're better off heading down to the Cumberland Island area. If anybody has recommendations for good day paddles, good motels or campgrounds, good places to check out music or museums, or other interesting things, I'd appreciate it a lot if you'd let us know. Thanks a lot, Dee *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

You may want to contact the folks at Sea Kayak Georgia for recommendations. I don't work for them but they have been very helpful to me in the past. The Tybee Island area outside of Savannah is interesting. You can have protected backwaters or exposed beaches as well as some good surfing areas. There is beach camping on Little Tybee Is. --- degamo_at_mindspring.com--- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
