Rob,

Glad to hear your daughter is doing better.

I made a backband and have started a carved foam seat but the paddling itch just had to be scratched so I slapped a thermorest camping seat in the yak and started paddling. It was fine for shorter paddles but I guess I over did it on the longer paddle. Talk about a strong incentive to finish my seat!! If my carved seat and custom backband don't live up to my expectations I will look into the dancing waters seat.

Thanks for your concern.

Ken

: The antibiotics took effect last night and she is doing very well today. She
: is expected to be released from the hospital Thursday so I can do the trip
: with no worries. She got a hug and an "I love you" this
: afternoon after a pleasant father/daughter luncheon at the hospital. Take
: care of that back, Ken, you need it to keep the paddle moving. I bought
: the Nalgene bottle (1 l) and will wrap it tomorrow with closed cell foam
: to insulate. I prefer the enamel cup for the very reason that it cools a
: boiling hot drink quickly.
: If your seat is uncomfortable perhaps you might try having a look at the one
: Donnie sells at Waters Dancing. You have to build it and glass it but you
: can fit it to your yak and foam it to your comfort. I have had great
: success with it. It's formed to fit any butt with proper foam
: installation. The link is posted below. Look in the section titled
: "Choosing Your Waters Dancing Kit". I'm glad to hear the new yak
: is performing surprisingly well, that's gotta make it a sweet watercraft.
