I still have the bathtub I started out with hanging in the garage, an Old Town Loon 160T lacking only jacuzzi jets and a hand held shower. After 4 years in a grown-up boat, I think it is only this year that I can get through a paddle without suddenly thinking: "what am I doing in this death trap?" I sometimes miss the simplicity of being out in the Loon and it's ample room for storing my PFD, but with my skills growing I'm feeling pretty OK in my QCC. Besides, the claw feet on my tub really cuts down on hull speed. I'm happy to see everyone on the water. Mark Sanders www.sandmarks.net -----Original Message----- 5. Sit-inside kayaks especially when used with sprayskirts are death traps. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
