I noticed that the volume of the Spartan is 90 gallons which is the same
volume as my RPM Max white water kayak. Interesting, huh? I bet that kayak
will be a wet ride. But Doug probably doesn't care after his Nordy; he's
used to that. I, on the other hand, really dislike wet rides and much prefer
a boat to rise over the waves as opposed to cutting through them. Even in my
drysuit. Maybe if I wore a face mask and used a snorkel..... nahhhhh.
