: Hi Len, I have a good story also about 2 weeks ago I was launching
: my Night Heron stripper and as usual having a hard
: time getting my legs in (just not as supple any more ) a man
: standing on the water edge watched me struggle bending
: my knees to my chest and said I should excersize more when I told
: him that it is tough at 81 he just had this far off
: stare then baraged me with what do I eat I told him good food and
: lots of exersize Nick R.

Need to spend a couple weeks paddling a NDK Greenlander, then entering and leaving most any other kayak is easy :)

With a 19" round coaming it requires a somewhat different method to getting in and out. Now almost all boats are easy to get in, some of the traditional SOF's are still a real trick to get in, almost "shrink fit" .
