I think the mothership is a fantastic idea as 60% of my kayaking is with the husband and kids. We're ready to branch out and began our search for a mothership about 4 months ago. Since we're in the Portland area we need something large enough to go from here up to the San Juan's and beyond. Minimum 50ft, twin screw, diesel and enough accomodations for two adults and two kids. Oh and did I mention cheap? And not a hunk of junk? We're still looking. Melinda > For some time now I've been kicking around the idea of providing my own > "mothership" for kayaking adventures.
