I usually bring Ric, because he is quite strong and indispensible when 
carrying loaded
kayaks over beaches and wet rocks. He is also the best navigator I know. 
Although he
is fairly big and heavy, he does come with his own boat.

Next, I try to bring along someone who can cook, since I cannot cook worth a 
lick.
This is especially important relative to desserts. They would normally come 
with their
own boat too.

Finally, I try to bring along an MD in case of injury or mishap, but they 
are usually too
smart to come along on one of my trips.
