: we're flatwater paddlers in Minnesota, but we'll be on a larger
: lake (Rainy Lake) with long fetches and the waves can become
: rollers, where if you/another paddler are in neighboring
: troughs, you can't see each other. We're considering towing a
: single with the tandem not for gear storage, but because one of
: our group broke his foot, and is unable to brace on the foot
: pegs, and doesn't want to miss our annual 7 day camping trip -
: so we're putting him in the front of a tandem, and bringing the
: single in case he needs to remain on shore for a day or so and
: the second seater wants to paddle the single. He's tried pretty
: much every foot/peddle solution, foam pads, different placement,
: etc and such is the nature of his break that nothing really
: works. He also has a bad back, which doesn't make it any easier.

: We'll duct tape the cockpit cover down, and might work on some sort
: of water-wings to try and prevent roll -

: thanks for your input - advice.

Leave the single kayak at home and take along a gun in case you need to put the gimpy guy out of his misery. I promise you, he won't complain.
