: Hey Jim. You ever thought about the CLC Mill Creek line? Seems the sheltered
: water stability thing is the design inspiration on that boat. Wide open
: cockpit. They have a Mill double in case you and your signif. want to take
: pics together.

Hi MIke -
Yep, talked to CLC and they didn't think the Mill Creek would be the right boat since I will be getting out into Sandusky Bay and Lake Pymatuning where the wind regularly kicks up 2+' white caps and chop. They thought the Mill Creek might be too flat-bottomed for those conditions. That's why I'm considering a beamier touring kayak.
