Let's see: a12 pound rifle and 1 pound of ammo, 13pounds total. A 90 pound VCP Nordkapp (the DL layup, of course), with a diminishing payload from 350 pounds to 300 pounds due to DL layup. 175 paddler (?) with 25 pounds of extraneous paddling gear including apparrel, repair gear, 1st aid, extra paddles, PFD's, etc. Seems like we have about 87 pounds of freeboard leftover for the food, water and 4 season freestanding tents, Doug! Dee-Hi anyone?
