Thanks for the compliments guys.
Hey, trust me, with all the real estate available on this thing, it's hard for me to try and stay honest and loyal to minimalist philosophy of kayaking. I'd like to keep it simple, but I still have tons of parts and what-not floating around at home from years in boating. Hopefully the winter won't be too long, giving me too much time to tinker in the garage.

We'll see...
As to the what's crawling out of the Sanddab, yeah, I didn't notice them 'til after I took the picture, and then I quickly flicked them over the side. Kinda like overgrown bedbugs....disgusting!
To bad the weather's not looking good this weekend, maybe next weekend,
Eric
