One thing that is very nice, and very possible to conduct from a kayak, is model seaplanes, especially flying boats, electrically powered - just need a calm lake and a hefty battery onboard the kayak to recharge the model between flights! You could even fit a catapult to your deck, just as naval ships had in the heyday of marine flight! I am not yet ready for marine aviation (need some more investment in time and equipment), but I'll do it next year, hopefully! The original flying boat fuselage I made became my ama - and reverting it back is hardly a wise option - too much beefing up and then there is that plywood box in the middle of it, nope! So I'll have to make a new one from scratch, no doubt! Happy paddling all, and Craig, the best to your wife!
