: Hi Paul and Robert,
: Thanks Paul for the dimensions. This standard seat will NOT fit in my kayak.
: I could maybe design and build a smaller version, but might be not as
: comfortable. I’ll make a prototype first and take it from there. Lucky me,
: my bum is still small, despite middle age. (Robert, I RUN and kayak, just
: not on the same day). But serious, Robert your trip is quite an
: accomplishment. Long days and not just speed are the secret of paddling
: distances. Here in Winnipeg, I got to know Don Starkell, and he says a lot
: of people are thinking he was crazy! I’m certainly don’t share that view.
: Anyway, I enjoyed reading your trip reports and looking forward to your
: next adventure. Thanks for sharing. Roland
Hey, Roland
I think that if you trimmed the sides of the seat you could still make it fit. There is enough wood on the sides to trim off at least an inch, maybe more, on both sides, or a total width reduction of two inches or more. As far as Don Starknel goes, if people think he was crazy, then Victoria Jason was just as crazy. If people think Victoria was crazy, then so am I. ;-) Not likely! The only aspect of Don's trip that could have been better would have been if he had prepped better for emergencies and taken the time to know the people who were there to help him along the way (based on what I have read, anyway). I'm pretty excited to start the next leg of my trip. Hey, if you want you might think of joining us (me, Ken and Victoria's daughter/son-in-law) when I get to Lake Winnipeg. I'll be meeting Ken at Grand Rapids. I' haven't arranged to meet Victoria's kin yet but they would be joining me at some point later on. You're always welcome to join me. Let me know. I'll keep everyone informed as to my itinerary when the time comes.
