In Response To: Review: Shearwater Atlantic and 6-foot seas (Malcolm Schweizer)

: The whole way there seas
: were definately 4-6 feet, and from Great St. James (my mid-way rest stop)
: to St. John I would say they passed the 6-foot mark. That's always a bad
: stretch of water. If you looked up "spilling waves" in the
: dictionary you would see a picture of the waves I was hitting between
: Great St. James and St. John. Man this kayak is dry.:

Wow, Malcolm...

Great review and awesome trip report. That's way beyond me. Here in Lake Erie, we get lot's of chop (3-6 ft. wave period) and I'm challenged by 2+' whitecaps. Maybe someday.
