Thanks for all the great responses.
Pamela I think a bed and Breakfast/kayak shop sounds wonderful, how would that work though for our dwindling Canadian dollar. I know the area where you live, it is spectacular and not far from where I live, in Montreal,Quebec, Canada. How much do you think that you would charge for something like this?Would there be problems bringing the kayak over the border after wards? anyways the idea sounds great to me.

: I have had an idea of having a Bed & Breakfast Kayak shop here where I
: live in the 1000 Islands in NY. I have a pretty good sized wood working
: shop, large enough for 2 or 3 kayaks to be built at once. I have taught a
: couple of boat building classes before. I'm just thinking about it at this
: point, but any feedback would be appreciated. Pamela Watson
