My friend Tom packed 4 (count 'em 4) bottles of different Merlots, so we could do a tasting. My son had borrowed my 2-man tent, so I used our Streamside 4. Packing a kayak for camping the first time is similar to putting a Klepper together the first time. Incredulity (This all can't fit!) followed by trial and error (Should have put this in first) followed by logical thinking in 3 dimensions (OK, so the space behind the skeg box must be about...but the space alongside the skeg box is only...) followed by amazement (Dang! It did fit). I'd suggest doing it for the first time in your garage, not on the beach. Steve Mark Sanders wrote: > Well, it's funny, my friend Duane Strosaker is planning the trip to > Catalina.
