: Great job John, that is a cool boat. The workaround for capsizing on entry is
: to stand in shallow water and lower your butt into the boat first :) then
: bring the legs in. Hey, I'm making good progress on the feature strip -
: using many of your excellent ideas - I'll post an update in the coming
: days.

Hi chip,

I'm going to have to practice my entry. I see now that I have to pack all of my gear in water tight bags or everything will get soaked. There's nothing like hard knocks practical experience as a teacher.
