Hi Paul,

Um.... so how do you roll with that antenna up?  <laugh>

I have long thought that it would be fun to do field day from a kayak but
never thought much of operating while kayaking. I'm afraid I get too
single-minded about paddling to chat while moving but a QRP rig would be fun
at a campsite if there is any energy left. I also lean towards CW for
simplicity.

Nice photos and an amazing transformation from one day to the next. :)
