: Mike and all interested...

: Perhaps the issues of the outrigger-equipped kayak, as opposed to the canoe,
: reside in the over-arching philosophical issues of kayaks, themselves and
: how the members of this fabulous forum view them?

: I would suggest that there is a very real emotional connection that most
: members of the forum have to their kayaks, as well as their efforts to
: actually "kayak' when out on the water. This emotional response is
: deeply engrained in the psyche of the assembled paddlers and that is very
: well understood. There's a "classic sense" that many paddlers
: have, a gut feeling, if yo will, that their sport and how they engage it,
: are of the purest of experiences.

Hi Chris,
Of course there is an emotional connection, wouldn't do it otherwise.

I have no problem with someone fitting outriggers, motors, small barbeque and a kitchen sink to a kayak, :) it's their chioce. I just don't quite get it, the motor.(well, maybe the BBQ and sink)

There's less dogmatism among the forum members than you'd think.
