On a side note, has anyone used slightly shorter? 15' seems nice for two, but can be a little unwieldy solo so I've been watching for a slightly smaller one.

I've noticed when wind drifting that the speed can get out of control, do you ever use a drogue to slow up?

Thanks, Eric


I noticed the same thing with my canoe. With 2 people it's great, but solo is a bit tough without loading up the front with some rocks for ballast to keep the bow down. so, I got a kayak for when I go out solo and it works really well.

As far as drift, I got a coffee can and filled it with concrete with a large eye-bolt on it to tie a rope to. Makes a great little anchor. I like to row up to an inlet and drop anchor and drift in front where all the fish like to eat.
