All things related to my kayaking experiences and interests, and everything else life throws at me.
About SandyBottom
A senior with 2 kids grown and flown, married to Paul 30 years, a recently retired medical researcher, and was a sometime adventurer. Now, its ALL about the adventure. I was born and raised in Hawaii, and have a love of the outdoors, camping, the beach, and the ocean. I started paddling with white water in 1981 when I met my husband. My first real sea kayaking experience was actually on a sit-on-top in Kailua Bay on the Island of Oahu in 1987 while we were visiting family. Two children and years later, a chance opportunity to try sea kayaking again in 1996 resulted in a love and passion that provides me with fun, excitement, relaxation and/or exercise, and most of all, adventure. I’ve not stopped since.

Looking Good! I will watch with interest how the build finishes out. Maybe Steve and I could paddle something like this?
What bike's are you thinking of using? What type of cart? I have been following your blog, lot's of useful info, thanks. I kayak camp on Lake Erie using a QCC 400 and 600. Starting to build a W17 trimaran.
I have a Dahon Presto Lite folding bike, and am looking for another similar size and weight (18lbs). We will make the carts, hull on one, amas on the other, making them lets us custom the cart for size, carts will be made using these wheels: Marathon Industries 92001 20x2.0 Flat Free Cart Tire On Black Plastic Rim - 3/4-Inch Bearing/
